Climate, Ticks and Disease Nuttall Pat
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 for the future. It examines changes to tick distribution and the evidence that climate change is responsible. 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 relevant for ticks and tick-borne infections.
Given that the notoriety of ticks derives from pathogens they transmit, do changes in climate affect vector capacity? The effect of climate on the physiology and metabolism of ticks, including potentially critical impacts on the tick microbiome is stressed. Ticks transmit a remarkable range of micro- and macro-parasites many of which are pathogens of humans and domesticated animals. The
