"Tick-borne zoonotic diseases are characterized by an intricate set of ecological relationships between pathogen, tick vector, vertebrate hosts, and humans, which largely determines the prevalence, as well as spatial and temporal dynamics of the diseases. This book makes it abundantly clear that effective diagnosis, treatment and prevention require an understanding of the ecological dynamics of tick-borne diseases." -- Ecology
