Abstract

Ticks are important vectors of several zoonoses such as severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), and Japanese spotted fever (JSF), which have been increasing and expanding from west to east in Japan. Since there are no vaccines or treatments for SFTS and TBE and it is difficult to treat JSF in time, tick vector control is necessary. Given that a variety of tick species are involved in the transmission processes, host-animal control might be most effective.
