Arbakka is an unincorporated community in the Rural Municipality of Stuartburn,[1] in the southeast corner of Manitoba, Canada, south of Vita[2] near the border with the United States. This region is sparsely populated, and its major exports are farmed goods and hogs.[citation needed]
There was a short-lived Icelandic settlement in Arbakka.[3]
In 2012, Arbakka was listed as one of the "endemic or suspected areas for established black legged tick (BLT) populations";[2] the tick is the primary vector of three diseases: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis and Babesiosis.[4]
