Abstract

Abstract: Ticks can carry pathogens that may transmit a variety of zoonotic diseases while feeding on the blood of animals. The tick-transmitted diseases, collectively referred to as tick-borne diseases, are correlated with meteorological factors, particularly temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, relative atmospheric pressure and wind speed. This paper gives an overview on the progress in research on the correlations of tick-borne diseases with meteorological factors and their prevention measures in China, in order to set up a meteorological model for tick-borne diseases, and establish meteorological early warning and forecasting systems for predicting the occurrence and monitoring the development of the diseases.

Key words: Tick, Tick-borne diseases, Meteorological factors, Forecasting and warning system
