Ticks and tick-borne diseases

Tick-borne disease has long been a risk to pets and human populations. Whilst there are only two tick-borne diseases currently considered endemic in the UK, the increase in dogs being imported into the UK, as well as the changing climate, brings a risk of non-endemic tick-borne diseases becoming endemic, creating new challenges for vets. This collection brings together resources on ticks and tick-borne diseases. In addition, the BSAVA has a Q&A for pet owners, which has been written for vets to pass on to their clients, available here.
