Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the previous volume, we are pleased to announce the launch of the second edition of this Topic on Ticks and Tick-Borne Pathogens. This Topic continues to provide a platform for showcasing groundbreaking research, innovative methodologies, and promising discoveries in various facets of tick biology. Key topics of interest include tick physiology, microbiome and genomics, taxonomy and the evolution of ticks and tick-borne pathogens, ecological and epidemiological aspects, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and strategies for control, including immunity and vaccine development.

We invite you to contribute to this Topic in esteemed MDPI journals such as Pathogens, Animals, Vaccines, Veterinary Sciences, Arthropoda, and Insects.

This Topic offers researchers the opportunity to publish enhanced and refined versions of their work, significantly extending the impact and visibility of their findings. We believe that this initiative will further facilitate the dissemination of cutting-edge research and foster ongoing collaboration and innovation within the tick research community. The collective insights and contributions will serve as a lasting academic resource, enriching the field and driving future discoveries. We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
