Spatial clustering of fourteen tick species across districts of Zimbabwe
Background Ticks transmit several diseases that result in high morbidity and mortality in livestock. Tick-borne diseases are an economic burden that negatively affect livestock production, cost countries billions of dollars through vaccine procurement ...

Economic impacts of tick-borne diseases in Africa : tick-borne diseases
As we join Onderstepoort in celebrating its centenary, it is worth reflecting that tick-borne infections of wildlife and livestock have been part of everyday life in Africa for many, many generations. While much has changed since Watkins-Pitchford started developing short-interval dipping trials with arsenicals to contain the new epidemic of East ...

Global dynamics of tick-borne diseases
<abstract> <p>A tick-borne disease model is considered with nonlinear incidence rate and piecewise constant delay of generalized type. It is known that the tick-borne diseases have their peak during certain periods due to the life cycle of ticks. Only adult ticks can bite and transmit disease.

DomainScope: A disease network based on protein domain connections [PDF]
Protein domains are highly conserved functional units of proteins. Because they carry functionally significant information, the majority of the coding disease variants are located on domains. Additionally, domains are specific units of the proteins that can be targeted for drug delivery purposes.

Control of tick-borne diseases
Abstract The control of tick-borne protozoan diseases (babesiosis and theileriosis) depends on judicious integration of management, vector control, chemotherapy and immunization. The relative importance of each method will depend on the animal species involved as well as epidemiological and financial considerations.
