OverviewThe ecological relationships found to exist between tick vectors and pathogens in their zootic cycle can profoundly influence patterns of transmission and disease for humans and domestic animals. This book examines the ecological parameters affecting the conservation and regulation of tick-borne zoonoses as well as the geographic and seasonal distributions of those infections. Written by an eminent authority on the subject, the book will be sought after by students and researchers in ecology, invertebrate zoology, parasitology, entomology, public health, and epidemiology.

Table of Contents1: Introduction 2: Population Ecology of Tick Vectors: Interaction, Measurement and Analysis 3: Competence of Ticks as Vectors of Microbial Agents 4: Vector-Host Pathogen Relationships: Transmission Dynamics of Tick-Borne Infections 5: Micrometeorological and Microhabitat Factors Affecting Successful Maintenance and Dissemination of Tick-borne Diseases in the Environment 6: Geographic Dissemination of Tick-Borne Zoonoses 7: Modeling the Ecological Dynamics of Tick-Borne Zoonoses 8: Exploiting Ecological Dynamics in the Management of Tick-Borne Zoonoses 9: Dynamic Associations of Tick-Borne Diseases Affecting Domestic Animal Health 10: Changing Ecology of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever 11: Lyme Disease/Lyme Borreliosis 12: Tick-Borne Encephalitis Subgroup 13: Ecology of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic FeverReviewsTick-borne zoonotic diseases are characterized by an intricate set of ecological relationships between pathogen, tick vector, vertebrate hosts, and humans, which largely determines the prevalence, as well as spatial and temporal dynamics of the diseases. This book makes it abundantly clear that effective diagnosis, treatment and prevention require an understanding of the ecological dynamics of tick-borne diseases. -- Ecology<br> Tick-borne zoonotic diseases are characterized by an intricate set of ecological relationships between pathogen, tick vector, vertebrate hosts, and humans, which largely determines the prevalence, as well as spatial and temporal dynamics of the diseases.
