Asiatic-Pacific Ticks: Species of Medical and Veterinary Importance is the definitive resource on the taxonomy, biology, and bionomics of tick species native to the Palearctic and Oriental regions. This comprehensive book, authored and edited by leading experts, delves into the identification, biology, and ecological roles of 12 primary tick species, including the Asian longhorned tick and those in the Hyalomma genus. It provides a global perspective as these species expand beyond their native habitats, making it indispensable for entomologists, public health personnel, and parasitologists. The book begins by exploring the classification history and identification of each species' active life stages.Detailed sections follow, discussing the biology, bionomics, and pathogenic agents associated with each tick species, emphasizing their relevance to human and animal health. This valuable resource is essential for those tracking diseases in tick populations and understanding the ecological impact of these medically and veterinary significant species.Provides detailed visuals for each stage of life for identificationIncludes an extensive, species-specific bibliography for further researchExamines the spread of these species to non-native regions, such as North America and Europe

Vladimir Fedorovich Dzhunkovsky was a witness to Russia’s unfolding tragedy - from Tsar Alexander II’s Great Reforms, through world war, revolution, the rise of a new regime, and finally, his country’s descent into terror under Stalin. But Dzhunkovsky was not just a passive observer - he was an active participant in his troubled and turbulent times, often struggling against the tide. In the centennial of the Russian revolution, his story takes on special significance.

Of the 758 species of hard ticks (family Ixodidae) currently known to science, 137 (18%) are found in the Neotropical Zoogeographic Region, an area that extends from the eastern and western flanks of the Mexican Plateau southward to southern Argentina and Chile and that also includes the Greater and Lesser Antilles and the Galápagos Islands.

Ticks of the family Ixodidae, commonly known as hard ticks, occur worldwide and are second only to mosquitoes as vectors of agents pathogenic to humans. Of the 729 currently recognized hard tick species, 283 (39%) have been implicated as human parasites, but the literature on these species is both immense and scattered, with the result that health professionals are often unable to determine whether a particular tick specimen, once identified, represents a species that is an actual or potential threat to its human host. In this book, two leading tick specialists provide a list of the species of Ixodidae that have been reported to feed on humans, with emphasis on their geographical distribution, principal hosts, and the tick life history stages associated with human parasitism. Also included is a discussion of 21 ixodid species that, while having been found on humans, are either not known to have actually fed or may have been misidentified. Additionally, 107 tick names that have appeared in papers on tick parasitism of humans, and that might easily confuse non-taxonomists, are shown to be invalid under the rules of zoological nomenclature. Although the species of ticks that attack humans have long attracted the attention of researchers, few comprehensive studies of these species have been attempted. By gleaning and analyzing the results of over 1,100 scientific papers published worldwide, the authors have provided an invaluable survey of hard tick parasitism that is unprecedented in its scope and detail.
