Introductions of tick disease vectors are inevitable in our changing world. While recent attention to tick invasions has increased following prominent invasion events worldwide, our understanding of how tick community ecology drives infection dynamics is lacking. Interactions between invasive and resident ticks can have profound impacts on human diseases.
在我们不断变化的世界中，蜱虫病媒的引入是不可避免的。虽然在全球范围内发生重大入侵事件后，近期对蜱虫入侵的关注有所增加，但我们对蜱虫群落生态学如何驱动感染动态仍缺乏了解。入侵蜱虫与本地蜱虫之间的相互作用可能会对人类疾病产生深远影响。
