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.
