Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 1999
Tick-transmitted infectious agents have assumed increased importance as causes of human disease in the United States. During the past two decades, Lyme borreliosis, ehrlichiosis, and babesiosis have emerged as newly described tick-borne infectious diseases of significance for pediatricians and pediatric neurologists.

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America
Ticks are responsible for the vast majority of vector-borne illnesses in the United States. The number of reported tick-borne disease (TBD) cases has more than doubled in the past 20 years. The majority of TBD cases occur in warm weather months in individuals with recent outdoor activities in wooded areas.

Prevention of Tick-Borne Diseases
Annual Review of Entomology, 2008Tick-borne diseases are on the rise. Lyme borreliosis is prevalent throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and the same Ixodes tick species transmitting the etiologic agents of this disease also serve as vectors of pathogens causing human babesiosis, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, and tick-borne encephalitis.

This chapter focuses on how ticks can transmit numerous bacterial, parasitic, and viral pathogens to humans, as well as how the secretions of some species can induce allergic reactions or cause paralysis. It provides a broad overview of tick-borne infections endemic to North America and discusses general principles regarding their epidemiology, therapy,

The ecology of tick-borne diseases
International Journal for Parasitology, 2013Zoonotic diseases are major causes of infection related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Of the various arthropods capable of transmitting pathogens that cause such diseases to humans, ticks, which are vectors of more kinds of pathogens than any other group of invertebrate, have become an increasing focus of attention.

The importance of ticks as vectors of animal diseases of great economic significance has long been acknowledged. The role of ticks in veterinary medicine and the use of DDT in their control is discussed fully in Chapter VIII (Knipling). More recently, the role that ticks play in the transmission of human disease has been increasingly recognized.

Prevention of tick-borne diseases
Medical Clinics of North America, 2002Ticks are a part of the landscape where humans live, work, and play. Because ticks carry a wide range of organisms that potentially can cause disease in humans, many studies have focused on ways to reduce risk of these diseases. Ticks have biologically complex interactions with microorganisms and with their vertebrate hosts, on whom they depend for ...

Tick-borne Diseases: Tick-borne Spotted Fever Rickettsioses in Africa
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2008In the field of tick-borne rickettsioses, discussion is ongoing about new vectors and the geographic zones of the diseases. New Rickettsia spp. that cannot yet be linked to human disease are sometimes detected in arthropods. In Africa, in addition to R. conorii and R.
