This vast and biotically rich region has long attracted natural scientists, with the result that the literature on Neotropical ticks, which are second only to mosquitoes as vectors of human disease and are of paramount veterinary importance, is enormous, diffuse, and often inaccessible to non-specialists. In this book, three leading authorities on the Ixodidae have combined their talents to produce a summary of essential information for every Neotropical tick species. Under each species name, readers will find an account of the original taxonomic description and subsequent redescriptions, followed by an overview of its geographic distribution and host relationships, including a discussion of human parasitism. Additional sections provide detailed analyses of tick distribution by country and zoogeographic subregion (the Caribbean, southern Mexico and Central America, South America, and the Galápagos Islands), together with a review of the phenomenon of invasive tick species and examination of the many valid and invalid names that have appeared in the Neotropical tick literature. The text concludes with an unprecedented tabulation of all known hosts of Neotropical Ixodidae, including the tick life history stages collected from each host. This book is an invaluable reference for biologists and biomedical personnel seeking to familiarize themselves with the Neotropical tick fauna. 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aInvertebrates 606 $aParasitology 606 $aVeterinary medicine 606 $aPublic health 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aInvertebrate Zoology 606 $aParasitology 606 $aVeterinary Science 606 $aPublic Health 606 $aEpidemiology 615 0$aInvertebrates. 615 0$aParasitology. 615 0$aVeterinary medicine. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 0$aEpidemiology. 615 14$aInvertebrate Zoology. 615 24$aParasitology. 615 24$aVeterinary Science. 615 24$aPublic Health. 615 24$aEpidemiology. 676 $a616.96 700 $aGuglielmone$b Alberto A.$0943435 702 $aNava$b Santiago 702 $aRobbins$b Richard G. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495350203321 996 $aNeotropical hard ticks (Acari : Ixodida : Ixodidae)$92833976 997 $aUNINA
