The Impacts of Climate Change on Ticks and Tick-Borne Disease Risk
Annual Review of Entomology, 2021 Ticks exist on all continents and carry more zoonotic pathogens than any other type of vector. Ticks spend most of their lives in the external environment away from the host and are thus expected to be affected by changes in climate.

Emerging Tick-Borne Diseases [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2020 Increases in tick-borne disease prevalence and transmission are important public health issues. Efforts to control these emerging diseases are frustrated by the struggle to control tick populations and to detect and treat infections caused by the pathogens that they transmit. This review covers tick-borne infectious diseases of nonrickettsial bacterial,
