Abstract：Ticks,the world's second-largest vector after mosquitoes,have a wide distribution,carry many pathogens,and pose great disease-transmission threats,including cross-species spread.They are a key focus in emerging and re-emerging infectious disease control.This paper introduces the biological characteristics of ticks and their distribution in the southeast coastal region of China,summarizes the epidemiological characteristics of tick-borne diseases and the monitoring methods of ticks,and then proposes targeted control strategies.These strategies are crucial for reducing disease incidence,improving cure rates,and guiding public health control.
