Into the Wild: Investigating Wildlife-Arthropod Vector Interactions and Implications for One Health

An integrative framework for tick management: The need to connect wildlife science, One Health, and interdisciplinary perspectives

Location: Phoenix Convention Center, 130, PCC
Oral Presentation
Vector-borne diseases pose a significant threat to human and animal health worldwide. Their emergence is influenced by various factors such as environmental changes, host characteristics, and human behavior. The One Health approach is necessary to thoroughly investigate tick-borne diseases and understand the complex interactions between environmental, animal, and human health. Anthropogenic changes have impacted predators, leading to cascading effects on wildlife prey species and the emergence of vector-borne diseases. The increase in global trade and travel has led to the introduction of several invasive vector species, increasing the risk of zoonotic pathogen spillover. Tick and tick-borne disease research requires an interdisciplinary approach to address challenges in a One Health paradigm.
