Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases

Aims & Scope

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases is an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal.

It publishes original research papers, short communications, state-of-the-art mini-reviews, letters to the editor, clinical-case studies, announcements of pertinent international meetings, and editorials.

The journal covers a broad spectrum and brings together various disciplines, for example, zoology, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, mathematical modelling, veterinary and human medicine.

Multidisciplinary approaches and the use of conventional and novel methods/methodologies (in the field and in the laboratory) are crucial for deeper understanding of the natural processes and human behaviour/activities that result in human or animal diseases and in economic effects of ticks and tick-borne pathogens.

Such understanding is essential for management of tick populations and tick-borne diseases in an effective and environmentally acceptable manner.
