Description
This book has been designed to summarize current, essential information for every one of the world�s 700+ hard tick species.� Under each species name, we will cite the original description, followed by information on type depositories, known stages, distribution (by zoogeographic region and ecoregion), hosts, and human infestation (if any).� Each species account will also include a list of salient references and, where necessary, remarks on systematic status.� We envision eight chapters: six devoted to the major ixodid tick genera (Amblyomma, Dermacentor, Haemaphysalis, Hyalomma, Ixodes, Rhipicephalus), one covering eight minor genera (including two that are fossil), and a concluding summary chapter.� There will be two tables on host associations and zoogeography in each major genus chapter, as well as five tables in the summary chapter, for a total of 17 tables.� No similar synopsis of the world�s hard tick species exists in any language.?Typham this is the title: The Hard Ticks of the World (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae)
