Asiatic-Pacific Ticks: Species of Medical and Veterinary Importance provides the most comprehensive and updated research on the taxonomy, biology, and bionomics of tick species native to the Palearctic and Oriental zoogeographic regions. It synthesizes all current research on each species using global perspectives, as these species begin to spread beyond their native habitats.

Written and edited by international experts on the ticks of eastern Asia, this book covers the 12 primary species, including the Asian longhorned tick and those under the Hyalomma genus. Each chapter begins by discussing the species’ classification history, followed by identification descriptions for all active life stages, and a detailed discussion of biology and bionomics. The chapters end with a discussion of pathogenic agents associated with each species and their context for human and animal ecology.

Asiatic-Pacific Ticks: Species of Medical and Veterinary Importance is a vital resource for entomologists, both in human-medical and veterinary focuses. Public health personnel and parasitologists tracking diseases in tick species will also find this useful.
