Canada won't be under the thumb of big American tick any more.
Faraone, an associate professor of chemistry, will lead the Canadian Tick Research and Innovation Centre at Acadia University.
While Faraone's team currently studies ticks, the new facility will be a dedicated research centre focused on breeding ticks, testing repellents and researching tick-borne diseases. It will be the first facility of its kind in Canada.
"It's very important for protecting the public," Faraone said. "We know very well, especially for Nova Scotia, that it's the province with the highest number of ticks per capita, that they can be a burden for public health."
Researchers depend on lab-bred ticks because it insures they are disease-free.
Currently, there is just one known facility that breeds ticks in North America, said Faraone. The tick-rearing facility at Oklahoma State University sells them for $5 each.
The research centre at Acadia will officially open in the spring, but Faraone said it will take a year to build up stocks of the ticks and get to work.

They were doing terrible until I got their prices up but they have to understand they have to get their prices down!
He's telling cattle ranchers: "they also have to get their prices down"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uh, this is an important quote to hold over the Republicans and Trump.
