The book provides a comprehensive account of ticks and tick-borne
diseases occurring in tropical and subtropical areas. It begins
with a complete up-to-date overview of the systematics of the
Ixodida (Ixodidae, Argasidae and Nutalliellidae) and is followed by
a review of the problem of ticks and tick-borne diseases of
domestic animals world wide. This leads on to multi-disciplinary
approaches to planning tick and tick-borne disease control and to
contributions on calculating the economic impact of a tick species
such as Amblyomma americanum on beef production systems. Heartwater
fever (cowdriosis) and dermatophilosis are endemic in Africa and
pose a threat to the North American mainland. The epidemiology of
these two diseases is discussed in detail as is the role of frozen
vaccines to control bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis. The book
also includes chapters on tick transmitted zoonoses such as Lyme
borreliosis, tick typhus and ehrlichiosis. It concludes with a
review of the acaricidal treatment of tick infestation.
