Abstract

Learning about ticks is important because of the diseases and problems they can cause in people and animals. Ticks are related to spiders and are not insects—they are parasites that live outside their host‘s body and infest a variety of animals. Ticks must feed on blood to survive, and when they feed, they can spread germs that cause diseases in people and animals. Ticks are found all around the world and various strategies have been tried to control these parasites. Chemical control (pesticides) is the most common method; however, some ticks have shown resistance to these chemicals. Alternative methods have been explored, including vaccinating animals to stop ticks from feeding on them. All tick-control methods have their own pros and cons, which will be discussed in this article. Some methods can even be combined for greater tick-killing effectiveness.
为什么要控制蜱虫
了解蜱虫非常重要,因为它们会给人和动物带来疾病和问题。蜱虫与蜘蛛有关,但不是昆虫--它们是寄生虫,生活在宿主体外,侵扰各种动物。蜱虫必须吸血才能生存,吸血时会传播病菌,导致人类和动物患病。蜱虫遍布世界各地,人们尝试了各种策略来控制这些寄生虫。化学防治(杀虫剂)是最常用的方法,但有些蜱虫对这些化学物质产生了抗药性。人们还探索了其他方法,包括给动物注射疫苗,阻止蜱虫在动物身上取食。所有控制蜱虫的方法都各有利弊,本文将对此进行讨论。有些方法甚至可以结合使用,以提高杀蜱效果。
