Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases

Geographical Distribution and Control Strategies in the Euro-Asia Region

The continuing emergence and evolution of tick-borne diseases has significant implications for animal health, the profitability of food animal production and for human health, with many tick-borne diseases having zoonotic capability. These problems are being exacerbated as previously exotic based ticks spread northwards, carrying diseases. 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.,
2005; Halos et al., 2005; Swanson et al., 2006). TBD co-infections by ticks are
