ABSTRACT

Recently, both of the species of tick-borne parasites and cases of tick-borne parasitic diseases in human beings are increasing in China. Tick-borne diseases are considered to be an important public health problem affecting the health of Chinese. In this paper, we summarize the epidemic status and control measures of tick-borne parasitic diseases in China, and put forward that the epidemic status of tick-borne parasitic diseases may be greatly underestimated in China, and the systematic surveillance of tick-borne parasitic diseases on population, vectors and animal hosts is urgently needed.
