Abstract

Historically, some of the most effective tools to counter vector-borne diseases have been those directed against the vectors. Ticks are undergoing a population explosion as evidenced by the recent expansion of their distribution range. Tick control has traditionally relied heavily on pesticides. However, sustained use of acaricides is resulting in resistant tick populations. Multipronged management strategies that build and expand upon innovative control methods are sorely needed. Behavior-modifying chemicals, referred to as semiochemicals, such as pheromones and repellents, offer a first line of personal protection against ticks. We review the current understanding of tick semiochemicals, and how such understanding is leading to the identification of novel chemistries that are effective and safe.

开发蜱虫引诱剂和驱虫剂：承诺与挑战。

从历史上看，对付病媒传播疾病的一些最有效的工具就是针对病媒的工具。最近，蜱虫的分布范围不断扩大，这证明蜱虫的数量正在激增。蜱虫控制历来主要依赖杀虫剂。然而，杀螨剂的持续使用正在导致蜱虫种群产生抗药性。我们亟需采取多管齐下的管理策略，在创新控制方法的基础上加以扩展。信息素和驱避剂等改变行为的化学物质被称为半化学物质，是个人防护蜱虫的第一道防线。我们回顾了目前对蜱虫半化学物质的认识，以及这种认识如何促使人们找到有效、安全的新型化学物质。

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Insect Science is a new systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up–to–date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Insect Science. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is reviewed once a year. The following 11 areas are covered by Current Opinion in Insect Science. -Ecology -Insect genomics -Global Change Biology -Molecular Physiology (Including Immunity) -Pests and Resistance -Parasites, Parasitoids and Biological Control -Behavioural Ecology -Development and Regulation -Social Insects -Neuroscience -Vectors and Medical and Veterinary Entomology There is also a section that changes every year to reflect hot topics in the field. Section Editors, who are major authorities in their area, are appointed by the Editors of the journal. They divide their section into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasized. Section Editors commission articles from leading scientists on each topic that they have selected and the commissioned authors write short review articles in which they present recent developments in their subject, emphasizing the aspects that, in their opinion, are most important. In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be most interesting from all those published in their topic over the previous year.
