Özet
Vector-borne diseases have historically posed significant threats to plants, humans, domestic animals, and wildlife, with their impact being especially pronounced in tropical and subtropical regions. Among these, tick-borne diseases (TBDs) have emerged as an increasingly critical global concern. This growing threat is largely driven by the expanding geographic range of ticks and the wide array of pathogens they transmit, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, nematodes, fungi, and infectious prion proteins. The global cumulative economic impact of the challenges caused by ticks and TBDs contributes and exacerbates the persistence of poverty and food insecurity, particularly in resource-limited and low-income regions. This multifactorial burden is further compounded by a complex network of anthropogenic factors, including climate change, habitat fragmentation and ecological degradation, rapid urbanization, changes in agroecosystem management, the resurgence of wildlife reservoirs, and increased anthropozoonotic mobility. Additionally, long-distance and intercontinental migratory birds serve as important ecological carrier hosts, naturally facilitating the widespread distribution and geographic expansion of ixodid tick populations and their associated pathogen complexes. Exacerbating these challenges are regional conflicts, weak environmental and social governance, and rising antimicrobial resistance, which complicate prevention and control efforts of TBDs. Due to the effects of numerous anthropogenic factors—primarily global warming—the risk potential of emerging and re-emerging TBDs is increasing day by day, along with the …
