This map contains information on the adult life stage collection and testing results of blacklegged ticks (most commonly seen in fall and late winter/early spring) from various locations across New York State. These ticks were tested in “pools”, groups of up to ten ticks per sample, for the human pathogen Powassan virus, also known as Deer tick virus. This map helps generate awareness on the tick populations that had pools that tested positive for Powassan virus.

The data presented here also depicts the number of sites sampled per county, as well as the total number of ticks tested. Both tick density and pathogen infection percentage can vary greatly within a very small area, and definitely vary widely within a county. Therefore, these data should not be used to broadly predict disease risk for a larger or smaller area, such as for the county or the town. They should be used simply to educate that there is a risk to ticks and tick-borne diseases.

Further below on this page you can find links to the Department of Health tick prevention page, a video link on how to safely remove a tick should it attach, and a link to a list of county health departments.

This dataset provides the results from collecting and testing nymph deer ticks, also known as blacklegged ticks, or by their scientific name Ixodes scapularis. Collection and testing take place across New York State (excluding New York City) from May to September, when nymph deer ticks are most commonly seen.

Nymph deer ticks are tested in “pools”, or groups of up to ten adult ticks per pool, for the Powassan virus, also known as Deer tick virus. These data should simply be used to educate people that there is a risk of coming in contact with ticks and tick-borne diseases.

These data only provide nymph tick minimum infection rates at a precise location and at one point in time. Both measures, tick population density and minimum infection percentages, can vary greatly within a very small area and within a county. These data should not be used to broadly predict disease risk for a county.

Further below on this page you can find links to tick prevention tips, a video on how to safely remove a tick, and more datasets with tick testing results. Interactive charts and maps provide an easier way to view the data.

This dataset shows the lead testing in school drinking water sampling and results information reported by each NYS public school and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) for Compliance Year 2020.

Public Health Law (Section 110) and New York State (NYS) Department of Health regulation (10 NYCRR 67-4) mandate that NYS public school districts and BOCES test drinking water for lead contamination and report the results to parents, the NYS Department of Health, NY State Education Department, and local health departments. The regulation required school districts and BOCES complete their sampling by the fall of 2016, and test again in 2020, and at least every five years thereafter or at an earlier time as determined by the Commissioner of Health. This dataset shows the results of lead testing in school drinking water reported by each public school district and BOCES for Compliance Year 2020.
