This book is an extensive study of Dermacentor ticks, elaborating on knowledge of their comparative morphology, physiology and biology, which is of the highest importance due to their capacity to transmit several diseases that affect both man and livestock. Historical context and the development of scientific understanding of these ticks are carefully laid out, setting the stage for discussion of the wealth of information that follows. The author provides comprehensive descriptions of 22 tick species, including detailed drawings of key diagnostic features. Each species entry includes a description of the patterns of biology, both in the field and under laboratory conditions. The volume concludes with a meticulous review of the diseases transmitted by each species and a comprehensive bibliography. This book significantly advances our knowledge of these increasingly important ticks and their role in disease transmission, providing an essential reference for parasitologists, medical entomologists and veterinarians.
