Description
Springer The Hard Ticks Of The World (Acari Ixodida Ixodidae) 2013 Edition by Alberto A. Guglielmone Richard G. Robbins
This book has been designed to summarize current essential information for every one of the world's 700+ hard tick species. Under each species name we will cite the original description followed by information on type depositories known stages distribution (by zoogeographic region and ecoregion) hosts and human infestation (if any). Each species account will also include a list of salient references and where necessary remarks on systematic status. We envision eight chapters: six devoted to the major ixodid tick genera (Amblyomma Dermacentor Haemaphysalis Hyalomma Ixodes Rhipicephalus) one covering eight minor genera (including two that are fossil) and a concluding summary chapter. There will be two tables on host associations and zoogeography in each major genus chapter as well as five tables in the summary chapter for a total of 17 tables. No similar synopsis of the world's hard tick species exists in any language.
