Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86761-0 - Ticks: Biology, Disease and Control Edited by Alan S. Bowman and Patricia A. Nuttall Frontmatter More information Ticks Widespread and increasing resistance to most available acaracides threatens both global livestock industries and public health. This necessitates better understanding of ticks and the diseases they transmit in the development of new control strategies. Ticks: Biol- ogy, Disease and Control is written by an international collection of experts and covers in-depth information on aspects of the biol- ogy of the ticks themselves, various veterinary and medical tick- borne pathogens, and aspects of traditional and potential new con- trol methods. A valuable resource for graduate students, academic researchers and professionals, the book covers the whole gamut of ticks and tick-borne diseases from microsatellites to satellite imagery and from exploiting tick saliva for therapeutic drugs to developing drugs to control tick populations. It encompasses the variety of interconnected fields impinging on the economically important and biologically fascinating phenomenon of ticks, the diseases they transmit and methods of their control. alan bowman has worked at the Universities of Edinburgh, Oxford and Oklahoma State and is now at the University of Aberdeen. His research interests include tick physiology, bioac- tive factors in tick saliva, drug target development and ecological aspects of borreliosis. Funding for his tick research has come from national funding bodies and both large animal-health and small biotechnology companies for which he also acts as a consultant. pat nuttall is Director of the Centre for Ecology and Hydrol- ogy (CEH), the UK’s centre of excellence for integrated research in land-based and freshwater environmental sciences, and part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). She is Professor of Virology at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Wolfson Col- lege, Oxford. She was awarded the Ivanovsky Medal for Virology in 1996 by the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Order of the British Empire by the Queen in 2000 for services to environmental sciences. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86761-0 - Ticks: Biology, Disease and Control Edited by Alan S.
