This monograph details tick-borne diseases in Europe and North America, focusing on Borrelia and tick-borne encephalitis virus. It covers diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these significant public health threats.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Entomology

Background:

  • Ticks transmit numerous pathogens globally, posing significant risks to human and animal health.
  • Understanding tick species, their geographic distribution, and the diseases they carry is crucial for effective public health strategies.
  • Emerging and re-emerging tick-borne infections necessitate continuous surveillance and research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive analysis of principal tick-borne infections relevant to Europe and North America.
  • To detail the characteristics and geographic spread of key tick vector species.
  • To thoroughly examine the diagnosis, treatment, and prophylaxis of significant tick-borne diseases, including emerging ones.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing data on tick-borne diseases.

  • Detailed description of important tick species and their ecological roles.
  • Analysis of diagnostic methods (direct and serologic), therapeutic interventions, and prophylactic measures, including vaccination where applicable.

    • Main Results:

    • Key tick-borne infections analyzed include Lyme disease (Borrelia), tick-borne encephalitis virus, rickettsial infections, and hemorrhagic fevers.
    • Mediterranean tick fever is exhaustively discussed due to its presence in Italy and underestimation of its severity.
    • Emerging infections like ehrlichiosis and babesiosis, and re-emerging tularaemia are also covered.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of tick-borne diseases requires a multi-faceted approach including vector control and individual prophylaxis.
    • Accurate laboratory diagnosis and timely treatment are critical for improving patient outcomes.
    • Continued research and awareness are essential to combat the evolving threat of tick-borne pathogens.
