Abstract: Ticks can transmit a wide range of pathogens, posing a serious threat to human and animal health. In order to lay the theoretical foundation for tick control in Asia and Africa, we review the reports published in the past five years on ticks and tick-borne pathogens in Mongolia, China (only Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Qinghai province), Pakistan, and Egypt along the migration routes of migratory birds. The highest number of tick species (51) were reported in Pakistan, followed by Xinjiang and Qinghai of China, Egypt, and Mongolia. Only 11 tick species were reported in Mongolia. Most of the ticks found in these regions belonged to the family Ixodidae. The majority of reported tick-borne pathogens were zoonotic, including the genera of Anaplasma, Rickettsia, and Coxiella. Birds are hosts of various ticks and potential carriers of tick-borne pathogens. Therefore, the migration of birds from East Africa to West Asia may facilitate the spread of ticks and tick-borne pathogens along these regions.

摘要: 蜱可以传播多种病原体,对人类和动物有着严重的危害。为给亚非地区候鸟迁徙沿线的蒙古国、中国[仅收集候鸟迁徙沿线的新疆维吾尔自治区(新疆)和青海省2个代表性省份信息]、巴基斯坦及埃及的蜱及蜱传疾病防治奠定理论基础,该文对上述国家近5年的蜱及蜱媒病原体的相关文献资料进行整理。经整理发现,巴基斯坦境内的蜱种类最为丰富,有51种;中国新疆、中国青海、埃及和蒙古国依次排在其后,其中蒙古国最少,仅有11种。上述国家报道的蜱类大部分属于硬蜱科;报道的蜱媒病原体大部分是人兽共患病原体,如无形体、立克次体和柯克斯体等。鸟类是蜱类的宿主之一和蜱媒病原体的潜在携带者,上述国家位于候鸟东非-西亚迁徙线上,候鸟的迁徙可能在一定程度上推动了该区域蜱和蜱媒病原体的扩散。
