Abstract

Abstract:

Tick is an ectoparasite and disease vector. Ticks can cause malnutrition in the host and spread a variety of pathogens through its blood-feeding activity, which may inflicting economic loss and posing a threat to public health. Currently, chemical pesticide is the dominant approache for controlling tick. However, this approach also provides risk to the environmental and toxicity to the hosts. Therefore, it is necessary to explore novel targets responsible for chemical sense in ticks and natural and safe repellent. To date, it is know that chemical sensing system in ticks has a critical role in searching for hosts, providing opportunities for further research. This article reviewed the tick chemical sensing system and different repellents in order to facilitate the control of ticks.

Key words: Tick, Chemical sense, Repellent, Vector control
