'A Treatise on the Use of the Tenses in Hebrew and Some Other Syntactical Questions' is the foundation of all modern studies of the Hebrew and Semitic verb. Driver maintained that the tenses of Hebrew verbs were employed to express types of action rather than time. While not undisputed, Driver set the tone for the conversation. While modern concerns may pay closer attention to contextuality or to state and action, many continue to acknowledge Driver's original emphasis that the Hebrew tense system is not primarily concerned with time relations.

This book is an expansion of the EFSA report on the subject, and includes coverage of the significance of tick-borne diseases, identification of tick species, emerging tick-borne infections, factors influencing the spread and distribution of ticks.
Furthermore, co-infection with different pathogens can occur in the same
vertebrate animal when the same tick species transmits more than one pathogen
(e.g. Hepatozoon canis, Ehrlichia canis and Anaplasma platys transmitted by
Rhipicephalus sanguineus), or when two or more tick species infest an animal or
human at the same time (Belongia, 2002; Stan ́czak et al., 2002; Bremer et al.,
