Key Features

- This book brings together expert opinions from scientists to consider the evidence for climate change and its impacts on ticks and tick-borne infections, and provide predictions…
- It considers what is meant by "climate change," how relevant climate models are to ecosystems, and predictions for changes in climate at global, regional, and local scales…
- It examines changes to tick distribution and the evidence that climate change is responsible
- The effect of climate on the physiology and metabolism of ticks, including potentially critical impacts on the tick microbiome is stressed
- Given that the notoriety of ticks derives from pathogens they transmit, do changes in climate affect vector capacity?
- Ticks transmit a remarkable range of micro- and macro-parasites many of which are pathogens of humans and domesticated animals
- The intimacy between tick-borne agent and tick vector means that any impacts of climate on a tick vector will impact tick-borne pathogens
