Ticks and Tick-borne diseases are ectoparasitic arthropods that play a significant role in the transmission of infectious diseases to humans, livestock, and wildlife and are caused by a diverse array of pathogens carried by ticks, pose substantial health risks in many parts of the world. Lyme disease, transmitted by the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) in North America and the castor bean tick (Ixodes ricinus) in Europe, is one of the most well-known tick-borne illnesses, characterized by skin rash, arthritis, and neurological symptoms if left untreated. Other common tick-borne diseases include anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), each with its own unique clinical manifestations and geographic distribution. Prevention of tick-borne diseases relies on measures such as wearing protective clothing, using insect repellents, performing regular tick checks, and implementing landscape management practices to reduce tick habitat. Timely detection and treatment of tick bites and associated illnesses are essential for minimizing the impact of tick-borne diseases on public health and well-being.
