The ecological relationships found to exist between tick vectors and pathogens in their zootic cycle can profoundly influence patterns of transmission and disease for humans and domestic animals. This study examines the ecological parameters affecting the regulation of tick-borne zoonoses.

A reference work that focuses on rapid viral evolution and such emerging viruses as mad cow disease and AIDS. It examines the interaction of viruses with hosts, advances in molecular biology and epidemiology which help to track viral infections, and ways of preventing future epidemics.

While the study of viral evolution has developed rapidly, little attention has been directed toward linking the mechanisms of viral evolution to the epidemiological outcomes of these processes. This book fills this gap by considering the patterns and processes of viral evolution at all its spatial and temporal scales.

This open access book will provide an introduction to forest entomology, the principles and techniques of forest insect pest management, the different forest insect guilds/feeding groups, and relevant forest insect pest management case studies. In addition to covering 30% of the earth, forest ecosystems provide numerous timber and non-timber products that affect our daily lives and recreational opportunities, habitat for diverse animal communities, watershed protection, play critical roles in the water cycle, and mitigate soil erosion and global warming. In addition to being the most abundant organisms in forest ecosystems, insects perform numerous functions in forests, many of which are beneficial and critical to forest health. Conversely, some insects damage and/or kill trees and reduce the capacity of forests to provide desired ecosystem services. The target audience of this book is upper-level undergraduate and graduate students and professionals interested in forest health and entomology.
