Ticks are obligate blood sucking arthropods found in almost every region of the world.
They are very important vectors of human and animal diseases. Tick-borne protozoan
diseases such as Theileriasis and Babesiosis cause mortality and morbidity in domestic
animals in many countries including India. An understanding of taxonomy, vector biology
and ecology in the geographic regions of each country is essential so that a programme
of control measures can be implemented. This book focuses on the ticks found in India
and will be invaluable for health authorities, tick biologists and veterinary researchers.
It covers taxonomic identification, medical importance and bionomics of haemaphysaline
ticks. Presents the taxonomy and biological description of the 42 haemaphysaline ticks
which are found in the Indian subcontinent. Includes information on the ecology and
biology of many of these species. Keys provided for subgeneric and individual identification
will be useful for easy identification of Indian haemaphysaline ticks
