On Wednesday 17th June, a press conference for the Tick App (Klíšťapka) was held in the Atrium of the Faculty of Economics and Management; it was created with the support of the Forests of the Czech Republic by the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences of CZU, Faculty of Economics and Management of CZU, Faculty of Science of the Palacký University Olomouc, National Institute of Public Health, Czech Forestry Society, and Forestry and Game Management Research Institute. The Tick App provides the public with information about the occurrence of ticks in forest stands and can serve as a prevention of Lyme disease infection. Media interest in the new app was enormous; we were visited by reporters from TV Prima, TV Nova, Czech TV, Czech Radio, Radio Impuls, the newspaper Mladá Fronta Dnes, and many others.
