摘要

Ticks are recognized as one of the most important vectors that cause diseases in animals and humans, and have significant public health impacts worldwide[1]. They have a wide range of hosts among terrestrial vertebrates, including mammals, birds, amphibians. The numerous zoonotic pathogens transmitted by ticks are the causative agents of Lyme disease, rickettsiosis, ehrlichioses, relapsing fever, Q fever, and tularemia. Cases of tick-borne diseases are increasing around the world and some emerging or re-emerging pathogens are being discovered, which pose great challenges for prevention and control.
