Knowledge of the tick fauna of continental Southeast Asia is either patchy or, in some cases, for example Cambodia and Myanmar, poor. Nevertheless, 97 species have been recorded from this region, making it one of the most diverse for ticks worldwide. Throughout Southeast Asia, work on tick-borne diseases of stock and companion animals, as well as of humans, is in its infancy, and the medical, veterinary and socio-economic importance of these diseases is largely unknown. Here we review current knowledge of Southeast Asian ticks and tick-borne diseases, with the aim of stimulating further research on this subject.
东南亚大陆蜱类动物群的相关知识要么零散，要么在某些情况下（例如柬埔寨和缅甸）非常匮乏。尽管如此，该地区已记录到97种蜱类，使其成为全球蜱类多样性最高的地区之一。在整个东南亚，针对家畜、伴侣动物以及人类的蜱传疾病研究尚处于起步阶段，这些疾病在医学、兽医和社会经济方面的重要性在很大程度上仍不为人知。在此，我们回顾东南亚蜱类和蜱传疾病的现有知识，旨在推动对这一主题的进一步研究。
