Climate, Ticks and Disease

Climate, Ticks & Disease

Climate, Ticks and Disease examines the relationship between climate change, tick ecology, and tick-borne infections. It explores how changing environmental conditions influence tick distribution, physiology, behavior, microbiomes, and vector capacity. The book also evaluates impacts on disease incidence and prevalence in humans and domesticated animals, along with approaches for predicting future disease patterns.
