DPMIAC announces the availability of a new CD
entitled Interactive Program for Teaching Tick Morphology. This
educational teaching tool is designed to provide a self-paced course of
instruction that will enable medical personnel to confidently identify ticks
in the absence of a professional tick taxonomist. The program comprises
five parts: a tutorial in tick morphology, demonstrations in identifying
ticks by an expert, student identification practice sessions, a glossary of
tick morphology, and a collection of tick identification keys. The program
was compiled by CDR George W. Schultz, Department of Preventive Medicine and
Biometrics, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences; Dr.
Richard G. Robbins, DPMIAC; and Mr. David W. Hill, AFPMB. To request
