This vast and biotically rich region has long attracted natural scientists, with the result that the literature on Neotropical ticks, which are second only to mosquitoes as vectors of human disease and are of paramount veterinary importance, is enormous, diffuse, and often inaccessible to non-specialists. In this book, three leading authorities on the Ixodidae have combined their talents to produce a summary of essential information for every Neotropical tick species. Under each species name, readers will find an account of the original taxonomic description and subsequent redescriptions, followed by an overview of its geographic distribution and host relationships, including a discussion of human parasitism. Additional sections provide detailed analyses of tick distribution by country and zoogeographic subregion (the Caribbean, southern Mexic | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | Ixodidae; Neotropical Region; taxonomy; hosts; Zoogeographic distribution; tick species; Ixodes; Amblyomma; | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-72353-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-72355-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-72353-8 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
