So it sounds like you're basically saying there is no funding so the policy is just let it rip until it becomes a big enough problem. I wonder if the Met52 fungus which is effective against one kind of tick would be effective against others: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5695842/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5695842/ Surely this kind of thing is something that could be figured out pretty quickly, although the environmental effects of releasing a fungus across large areas would need to be studied also. I think of all the people in the world who are poor and doing stupid work when they could be trained and working on problems like this. It seems to be not just a shortage of funding but a shortage of imagination.
