Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 2nd SEA Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases Symposium aims to review recent progress and strengthen this important regional initiative. Given the complex and multifaceted nature of ticks and tick-borne pathogens, the symposium will bring together experts from multiple disciplines under a One Health approach to foster collaboration and advance research.
Key Topics:
- New insights in tick research – Exploring the latest findings and breakthroughs in tick biology and behavior.
- Updates on ticks and tick-borne diseases in Southeast Asia – Highlighting current research and surveillance efforts in the region.
- Tick-borne pathogen research – Investigating the pathogens carried by ticks and their impact on human and animal health.
- Environmental changes and emerging tick-borne pathogens – Examining how climate and environmental shifts are influencing the spread and emergence of tick-borne diseases.
- Acaricides and resistance; anti-tick vaccines – Discussing the development of novel control strategies and advancements in vaccine research.
- Tick bites and associated manifestations – Understanding the clinical symptoms and complications associated with tick bites.
To further advance research and discovery in this field, we are excited to partner with Pathogens to launch a Special Issue titled "Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases in Southeast Asia". We welcome all contributions related to the topics outlined above.
