Abstract

Ticks are capable of transmitting numerous pathogens to both humans and their pets. The risks of tick-borne disease risks vary geographically and are determined by the climate, environment, the presence of rodents and other mammal reservoirs, and the species of ticks parasitizing wild and domestic animals. Zoonoses such as Lyme borreliosis, tularemia, and tick-borne rickettsioses can emerge in previously nonendemic areas when circumstances favorable to their maintenance and transmission arise. Tick-borne zoonosis can be prevented by implementation and adoption of an integrated program to reduce the likelihood of tick bites on pets and their owners.

摘要

蜱虫能够将多种病原体传播给人类及其宠物。蜱媒疾病风险在地理上存在差异，并且由气候、环境、啮齿动物和其他哺乳动物宿主的存在以及寄生于野生动物和家畜身上的蜱虫种类所决定。当有利于莱姆病、兔热病和蜱传立克次体病等人畜共患病维持和传播的情况出现时，这些疾病可能会在以前的非流行地区出现。通过实施和采用综合计划以降低宠物及其主人被蜱虫叮咬的可能性，可以预防蜱媒人畜共患病。
