Abstract

Ticks are important vectors of pathogens that cause human and animal disease. Pheromones play a role of fundamental importance in intraspecies communication. Here, Gordon Hamilton discusses how these chemical messengers play a role in mate location, host location, and survival in adverse conditions, and how manipulation of this chemical communication system may provide a potential method of tick control.

摘要

蜱虫是导致人类和动物疾病的病原体的重要传播媒介。信息素在种内交流中起着至关重要的作用。在此，戈登·汉密尔顿探讨了这些化学信使如何在寻找配偶、寻找宿主以及在不利条件下生存中发挥作用，以及操纵这种化学通讯系统如何可能提供一种潜在的蜱虫控制方法。
