Scope note: Enfermedades bacterianas, víricas o parasitarias que se transmisten a los seres humanos y los animales por la picadura de garrapatas infectadas. Las familias Ixodidae y Argasidae contienen muchas especies que chupan sangre y que son plagas importantes para los seres humanos, las aves de corral y los mamíferos, y probablemente superan a los demás artrópodos en lo que respecta al número y la variedad de agentes patógenos que transmiten. Muchas de las enfermedades trasmitidas por garrapatas son zoonóticas.

Scope note: Bacterial, viral, or parasitic diseases transmitted to humans and animals by the bite of infected ticks. The families Ixodidae and Argasidae contain many bloodsucking species that are important pests of man and domestic birds and mammals and probably exceed all other arthropods in the number and variety of disease agents they transmit. Many of the tick-borne diseases are zoonotic.
