Zusatztext a manifest underlining of the importance of basic and applied ecological research for human health in a phase when other disciplines seem to receive much more attention by the public ... the collection of topics is very convincing and the quality of all chapters is high or even very high ... It contains exciting information and is truly a milestone in the field of ecology of tick-borne diseases. To read this book is a must for researchers and teachers in medical entomology, ecological parasitology, and related disciplines. I am also sure that public health workers, microbiologists as welll as veterinarians and physicians involved in vector-borne diseases will derive a major benefit from reading this book ... also excellent reading matter for graduate students because it conveys an idea about how complex ecological problemns can be and how we can adequately investigate them. Klappentext The 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. Zusammenfassung A zoonosis disease can be transmitted to humans from animals. The ecological relationships found to exist between tick vectors and pathogens in their zootic cycle can profoundly influence these patterns of transmission and disease. 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. Topics covered include population ecology of tick vectors, vector-host pathogen relationships, geographic dissemination and dynamics and management of tick-borne zoonoses, together with the dynamic associations which affect domestic and animal health....
