This book has been designed to summarize current, essential
information for every one of the world's 700+ hard tick species.
Under each species name, we will cite the original description,
followed by information on type depositories, known stages,
distribution (by zoogeographic region and ecoregion), hosts, and
human infestation (if any). Each species account will also include
a list of salient references and, where necessary, remarks on
systematic status. We envision eight chapters: six devoted to the
major ixodid tick genera (Amblyomma, Dermacentor, Haemaphysalis,
Hyalomma, Ixodes, Rhipicephalus), one covering eight minor genera
(including two that are fossil), and a concluding summary chapter.
There will be two tables on host associations and zoogeography in
each major genus chapter, as well as five tables in the summary
chapter, for a total of 17 tables. No similar synopsis of the
world's hard tick species exists in any language.

The continuing emergence and evolution of tick-borne diseases has
significant implications for animal health, the profitability of
food animal production and for human health, with many tick-borne
diseases having zoonotic capability. These problems are being
exacerbated as previously exotic-based ticks spread northwards,
carrying diseases. This book is an expansion of the EFSA report on
the subject, and includes coverage of the significance of
tick-borne diseases, identification of tick species, emerging
tick-borne infections, factors influencing the spread and
distribution of ticks and surveillance and control measures.
