蜱媒传染病研究进展

Research progress in tick-borne Diseases

蜱是一种吸血的节肢动物,它不仅能叮咬人和畜,而且能在吸血液时释放毒素,对人畜造成了极大的危害;此外,它还具有从宿主获得病原体的能力,能贮存和传播病原微生物,是许多重大传染病的重要传播媒介。因此,对蜱媒传染病及其传播媒介进行研究具有重要意义。为此,对就目前世界上重要蜱媒传染病的研究进展予以了综述。

Ticks, blood-sucking arthropods, can not only bite people and livestock but also release toxins while suck- ing blood from human and animals. In addition, ticks are capable of storing and spreading pathogenic microorganisms, becoming vectors of many fatal infectious diseases. Therefore, it is significantly important to make deep research on tick-borne diseases. Thus a brief review of the recent research progress in tick - borne diseases is made.
