Tick

Ticks are implicated in the transmission of a number of infections caused by [[pathogen]]s such as [[bacterium|bacteria]], [[virus]]es, and [[protozoa]]. Sometimes, the tick harbours more than one type of pathogen, making diagnosis of the infection more difficult. Species of the bacterial genus "[[Rickettsia]]" are responsible for [[typhus]], [[rickettsialpox]], [[boutonneuse fever]], [[African tick bite fever]], [[Rocky Mountain spotted fever]], [[Flinders Island spotted fever]], and [[Queensland tick typhus]] (Australian tick typhus). Other tick-borne diseases include [[Lyme disease]] and [[Q fever]], [[Colorado tick fever]], [[Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever]], [[tularemia]], tick-borne [[relapsing fever]], [[babesiosis]], [[ehrlichiosis]], [[Bourbon virus]], and [[tick-borne meningoencephalitis]], as well as bovine [[anaplasmosis]] and probably the [[Heartland virus]].
where do male ticks go to find a mate UNANSWERABLE where are these birds found? They are parasitic arachnids, are external parasites, living by feeding on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians what sort of places do they live in? They flourish more in countries with warm, humid climates, because they require a certain amount of moisture in the air to undergo metamorphosis, and because low temperatures inhibit their development from eggs to larvae. do they face any threat? No but the population or distribution of this parasites is controlled as they spread diseases.
