Objective: We used bibliometric analysis approach to compare and analyze the current status, hot fields and developing prospects in the research field of ticks and tick-borne diseases in China and worldwide in the last two decades, and put forward recommendations for the future research on tick and ...

Wildlife vertebrate hosts are integral to enzootic cycles of tick-borne pathogens, and in some cases have played key roles in the recent rise of ticks and tick-borne diseases in North America. In this forum article, we highlight roles that wildlife hosts play in the maintenance and transmission of...

Outbreaks of transboundary animal diseases (TADs), zoonotic diseases, including tick-borne diseases (TBDs), and economically significant animal diseases can cause a substantial socio-economic impact and adversely affect animal, human, and environmental health. The number of tick-borne zoonotic and...

Where ticks are found, tick-borne diseases can present a threat to human and animal health. The aetiology of many of these important diseases, including Lyme disease, bovine babesiosis, tick-borne fever and louping ill, have been known for decades whilst others have only recently been documented in ...

Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector borne zoonotic disease endemic in humans and dogs in Brazil. Due to the increased risk of human infection secondary to the presence of infected dogs, public health measures in Brazil mandate testing and culling of infected dogs. Despite this...

Ticks are globally distributed arthropods, the second only to mosquitoes as vectors of infectious diseases, and can carry hundreds of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, rickettsia, spirochetes and parasites. The role of ticks in viral transmission has been known for more than 100 years. The most...

This article discusses the increasing occurrence and geographical spread of ticks in the Nordic countries since the late 1970s. It highlights climate change as a significant driver of these changes, along with factors such as globalization, changes in land use, and wildlife populations. The rising...

Since 2018, Zimbabwe has lost more than 9% of its national beef herd due to tick-borne diseases. Theileriosis is the major suspect among the tick-borne diseases. A survey was conducted to find out factors which are worsening the occurrence of tick-borne diseases in Zimbabwe, using Bindura district...

Background: Recent global changes have led to an increase in distribution of ticks towards higher elevation and latitude in Europe and livestock are at increasing risk of contracting tick-borne diseases, but psychological aspects of how this affects human well-being are rarely assessed. Departing...

Expansion of ticks and tick-borne diseases is of increasing concern worldwide. To decrease the risk of ticks and tick-borne diseases to public health, understanding the mechanisms of their current distribution and future expansion is needed. Although tick distribution has been studied globally on...
