Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases is an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal. It publishes original research papers, short communications, state-of-the-art mini-reviews, letters to the editor, clinical-case studies, announcements of pertinent international meetings, and editorials.The journal covers a broad spectrum and brings together various disciplines, for example, zoology, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, mathematical modelling, veterinary and human medicine. Multidisciplinary approaches and the use of conventional and novel methods/methodologies (in the field and in the laboratory) are crucial for deeper understanding of the natural processes and human behaviour/activities that result in human or animal diseases and in economic effects of ticks and tick-borne pathogens. Such understanding is essential for management of tick populations and tick-borne diseases in an effective and environmentally acceptable manner.

蜱虫和蜱传疾病是一份国际同行评议的科学期刊。它出版原始的研究论文、简短的通讯、最先进的微型评论、给编辑的信、临床案例研究、有关国际会议的公告和社论。该杂志涵盖范围广泛，汇集了各种学科，例如动物学、微生物学、分子生物学、遗传学、数学模型、兽医学和人类医学。多学科研究方法和(在实地和实验室)使用传统和新的方法/方法对深入了解导致人类或动物疾病的自然过程和人类行为/活动以及蜱虫和蜱媒病原体的经济影响至关重要。这种了解对以有效和环境可接受的方式管理蜱虫种群和蜱虫传播的疾病至关重要。
