Tick-borne diseases are on the rise. Lyme borreliosis is prevalent throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and the same Ixodes tick species transmitting the etiologic agents of this disease also serve as vectors of pathogens causing human babesiosis, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, and tick-borne encephalitis. Recently, several novel agents of rickettsial diseases have been described. Despite an explosion of knowledge in the fields of tick biology, genetics, molecular biology, and immunology, transitional research leading to widely applied public health measures to combat tick-borne diseases has not been successful. Except for the vaccine against tick-borne encephalitis virus, and a brief campaign to reduce this disease in the former Soviet Union through widespread application of DDT, success stories in the fight against tick-borne diseases are lacking. Both new approaches to tick and pathogen control and novel ways of translating research findings into practical control measures are needed to prevent tick-borne diseases in the twenty-first century.

预防of传播疾病。

ick传播的疾病正在上升。莱姆病（Lyme borreliosis）遍布北半球，传播这种疾病病原体的同一种x虱也可以作为引起人幼虫，人粒细胞无性病和tick传脑炎的病原体的载体。近来，已经描述了几种新颖的立克次体病治疗剂。尽管tick虫生物学，遗传学，分子生物学和免疫学领域的知识激增，但导致广泛应用公共卫生措施来对抗tick虫传播疾病的过渡研究尚未成功。除了针对壁虱传播的脑炎病毒的疫苗，以及在前苏联通过广泛使用滴滴涕来减少这种疾病的简短运动之外，缺乏与tick传播疾病斗争的成功案例。为了防止tick虫传播的疾病，既需要tick虫和病原体控制的新方法，也需要将研究结果转化为实际控制措施的新颖方法。
