Parasitology, 2004 Ticks have numerous natural enemies, but only a few species have been evaluated as tick biocontrol agents (BCAs). Some laboratory results suggest that several bacteria are pathogenic to ticks, but their mode of action and their potential value as biocontrol agents remain to be determined.

The first German map of georeferenced ixodid tick locations
Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background Georeferenced locations of ixodid ticks are required to depict the observed distribution of species. Further, they are used as input data for species distribution models also known as niche models.

Tick vaccines and the control of tick-borne pathogens [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013 Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites that transmit a wide variety of pathogens to humans and animals. The incidence of tick-borne diseases has increased worldwide in both humans and domestic animals over the past years resulting in greater interest in the study of tick-host-pathogen interactions.

More than Three Decades of Bm86: What We Know and Where to Go
Pathogens, 2023 Tick and tick-borne disease control have been a serious research focus for many decades. In a global climate of increasing acaricide resistance, host immunity against tick infestation has become a much-needed complementary strategy to common chemical ...

Stemming the Rising Tide of Human-Biting Ticks and Tickborne Diseases, United States
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 Ticks and tickborne diseases are increasingly problematic. There have been positive developments that should result in improved strategies and better tools to suppress ticks, reduce human tick bites, and roll back tickborne diseases.
