Owing to socioeconomic and environmental changes, tick distribution is changing with incursions of ticks and tick-borne diseases occurring in different regions of the world when the widespread deployment of chemical acaricides and repellents has led to the selection of resistance in multiple populations of ticks. New approaches that are environmentally sustainable and that provide broad protection against current and future tick-borne pathogen (TBP) are thus urgently needed. Such development, however, requires improved understanding of factors resulting in vector competence and tick-host-pathogen interactions. This Research Topic provides an overview of known molecular tick-host-pathogen interactions for a number of TBPs and highlights how this knowledge can contribute to novel control and prevention strategies for tick-borne diseases. 610 $ahost 610 $apathogen 610 $aTick-Borne Diseases 610 $atick-borne Pathogens 610 $aTicks 610 $atransmission 610 $aVector 700 $aSarah Ir$4auth$01352600 702 $aArd Menzo Nijhof$4auth 702 $aJose De La Fuente$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688411903321 996 $aTick-Host-Pathogen Interactions$93186436 997 $aUNINA
