Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases Monographs
Ixodid ticks of major economic importance and their distribution in South Africa (2013)- Arthur M Spickett
This monograph contributes to the information available on ticks, especially in a South African context. It further entails basic tick biology, the economic impact of ticks, tick control and acaricide resistance. The main purpose of this monograph is to serve as a guide and to make available selected geographical distribution maps of ticks which are so crucial in vector and disease control.
Illustrated guide to identification of African tick species (2013)- Abdalla A Latif
This monograph uses high resolution colour photographs of original specimens, which make identification easier - by visual matching of specimens under a stereomicroscope. The main morphological characters of 45 species in 15 genera are demonstrated, explained in a concise glossary, and illustrated in 148 figures. It also includes sections on tick biology, tick sampling for ecological studies, and the distribution and diseases associated with each species.
Tick-borne diseases in Southern Africa (2020)- Abdalla A Latif
Ticks and tick-borne diseases of livestock have been recognised as a major impediment to economic growth and a cause of poverty in communal areas in Africa. This monograph includes sections on theileriosis, babesiosis, heartwater and anaplasmosis, with introductory information on each tick-borne disease, how to diagnose the causative agent, and showing their associated clinical sign, post-mortem, and control.
Control of ticks and tick-borne diseases in Southern Africa (2017)- Peter Oberem
The focus of this monograph is the control of ticks and tick-borne diseases in Southern Africa. Part 1 is dedicated to a general discussion of tick control methods, as well as a summary of the problems of tick-borne diseases. Part 2 presents a brief discussion of tick-borne diseases. Part 3 approaches tick control methods based on the main target tick species, because of the very different conditions in which they occur and also the different tick-borne diseases they transmit.
