Tick and tickborne disease (TTBD) control is a major component of animal health programmes protecting livestock, thereby enhancing global food security. The present methods for TTBD control are reviewed and an integrated use of the tools is recommended with a broader view of how to link TTBD control to the control of other parasitic diseases. The work of FAO in this field is presented and it is advocated that, although there are still areas that need further investigation, a stage has been reached where robust integrated TTBD control schemes, based on ecological and epidemiological knowledge of ticks and their associated diseases, can be promoted and implemented. Major challenges are the implementation of these policies in the field through the continuation of the present on-going programme in Africa and support to Latin America and Asia. The importance of involving all parties, governments, international and private organisations and the agrochemical industry in developing sustainable, cost-efficient control programmes is stressed and a global strategy is proposed. The main thrust should now be to convince policy makers on the adoption of the strategies and veterinarians and farmers on their implementation.
蜱虫及蜱传疾病（TTBD）防控是动物健康计划的重要组成部分，有助于保护牲畜，从而加强全球粮食安全。本文回顾了目前控制TTBD的方法，并建议综合使用这些工具，同时从更广泛的角度探讨如何将TTBD防控与其他寄生虫病的防控联系起来。介绍了粮农组织在这一领域的工作，并主张尽管仍有一些领域需要进一步研究，但目前已达到一个阶段，即可以推广和实施基于蜱虫及其相关疾病的生态和流行病学知识的强有力的综合TTBD防控方案。主要挑战在于通过延续非洲目前正在进行的项目以及支持拉丁美洲和亚洲，在实地实施这些政策。强调了让所有各方，包括政府、国际组织、私人组织和农用化学品行业参与制定可持续、成本效益高的防控计划的重要性，并提出了一项全球战略。现在的主要重点应该是说服政策制定者采用这些战略，并说服兽医和农民实施这些战略。
