Frequently Asked Questions
- What tick surveillance data can VectoStar track?
- VectoStar helps teams organize surveillance sites, habitat observations, field collection records, tick species and life-stage identification, abundance counts, and pathogen testing records in one connected system.

- Yes. Field teams can capture collection details at the site, attach GPS context, add notes and photos, and make records available to supervisors without waiting for paper forms to be transcribed.
- How does VectoStar help teams understand tick activity?
- VectoStar brings observations together across sites and dates so managers can compare abundance, species, life stages, habitat conditions, and testing records through trends, maps, and operational reports.
- Can managers assign and follow up on surveillance work?
- VectoStar connects field work with assignments and status visibility, helping supervisors coordinate site visits, monitor completion, and keep follow-up actions tied to the underlying surveillance record.
- Does VectoStar replace laboratory testing?
- No. VectoStar is an operational system for recording and managing testing submissions and results from your surveillance program. Laboratory work remains with your designated laboratory partners.
