This special issue of Parasite Immunology focuses on the scope of immune interactions that take place within the triad of ticks, their vertebrate hosts, and tick‐borne pathogens. Ticks and tick‐borne infections are global medical and veterinary public health threats due to greater abundance and expanding geographic ranges of tick vectors; introduction of tick transmitted diseases into new areas; emerging pathogens, and, increasing incidence of tick‐borne infectious diseases.

社论：蜱-宿主-病原体相互作用的免疫生物学

本期《寄生虫免疫学》特刊重点关注蜱三联体、脊椎动物宿主和蜱传病原体内发生的免疫相互作用的范围。蜱虫和蜱传感染是全球医学和兽医公共卫生威胁，因为蜱虫媒介的数量更多，地理范围也在扩大；将蜱传播疾病引入新领域；新出现的病原体，以及蜱传传染病的发病率增加。
