RESPONSE OF TICKS TO HOSTS′ SEMIOCHEMICALS AND ITS ROLE IN TICKS AND TICK-BORNE DISEASE CONTROL
Journal Title: Acta Parasitologica et Medica Entomologica Sinica - Year 2024, Vol 31, Issue 1
Abstract
As obligated blood-sucking arthropods, ticks have become a serious health burden to the public as they transmit various pathogens to humans and other host animals. The extent of harm caused by tick bites heavily relies on the relationship between ticks and their host animals. Semiochemicals play a key role and enable ticks to seek, forage for, and locate their blood source hosts. Notably, pathogenic infection would change the relationship between ticks and host animals to a degree and result in behavior shifts for ticks to forage for hosts to obtain blood. In the current review, the sensory mechanism of ticks, semiochemicals from ticks and their hosts, and the potential application in the prevention and control of tick and tick borne pathogens are discussed.
