Ticks exist on all continents and carry more zoonotic pathogens than any other type of
vector. Ticks spend most of their lives in the external environment away from the host and …

A number of tick-borne diseases of humans have increased in incidence and geographic
range over the past few decades, and there is concern that they will pose an even greater …

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

Zoonotic tick‐borne diseases are an increasing health burden in Europe and there is
speculation that this is partly due to climate change affecting vector biology and disease …

Ticks spend most of their life cycle in the environment, and all tick life cycle stages are
dependent on a complex combination of climate variables. Furthermore, host availability and …

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is the most widespread, tick-borne viral
disease affecting humans. The disease is endemic in many regions, such as Africa, Asia …

Impacts of environmental changes on zoonotic disease risk are the subject of speculation,
but lack a coherent framework for understanding environmental drivers of pathogen …

Recent advances in climate research together with a better understanding of tick–pathogen
interactions, the distribution of ticks and the diagnosis of tick-borne pathogens raise …

The impact of climate on the vector behaviour of the worldwide dog tick Rhipicephalus
sanguineus is a cause of concern. This tick is a vector for life-threatening organisms …

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a virus-mediated hemorrhagic disease that
