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.

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.

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 ...

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2009
Ticks are capable of transmitting numerous pathogens to both humans and their pets. The risks of tick-borne disease risks vary geographically and are determined by the climate, environment, the presence of rodents and other mammal reservoirs, and the species of ticks parasitizing wild and domestic animals.

Tick‐borne diseases in transfusion medicine
Transfusion Medicine, 2002SummaryTicks are effective vectors of viral, bacterial, rickettsial and parasitic diseases. Many of the tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) are of significance to transfusion medicine, either because of the risks they pose to the blood supply or the necessity for blood products required in their treatment.

The Veterinary Nurse, 2016
Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) can have serious impact on the health and welfare of dogs, and have been described in all continents. The expanding number of tick-borne pathogens, the broad geographic range of many tick species, the ability of tick-borne pathogens to induce infections, and the highly zoonotic potential of some of these pathogens make TBDs ...
