Journal ArticleDOI
The global importance of ticks.
Frans Jongejan,Gerrit Uilenberg +1 more
TL;DR: Ticks and tick-borne diseases affect animal and human health worldwide and are the cause of significant economic losses and although some estimates are given, there is a lack of reliable data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Babesia--a historical overview.
TL;DR: The classical differences with the main other genus of non-pigment-forming hemoparasites, Theileria, are the absence of extra-erythrocytic multiplication (schizogony) in Babesia and the cycle in the vector tick, which includes transovarial transmission in babesia but only transstadial transmission in TheILeria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three groups of Babesia canis distinguished and a proposal for nomenclature
TL;DR: Differences in cross-immunity tests in dogs and in the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) have practical implications for existing and future vaccines against canine babesiosis and for the serological diagnosis of atypical and chronic cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ticks and control methods.
Frans Jongejan,Gerrit Uilenberg +1 more
TL;DR: The authors review general aspects of tick biology, the taxonomy, pathogenic effects and vector role of these species, and methods for the control of ticks.
Journal Article
Danger of introducing heartwater onto the American mainland : potential role of indigenous and exotic Amblyomma ticks
TL;DR: Protection of the American mainland and the disease-free islands of the area must be based on strict control of domestic animal movement in the Caribbean, on the decrease of the vector population by tick control campaigns and on the eradication of Amblyomma variegatum from the focus of heartwater on the islands.
