Abstract

Hard ticks have become the main vectors of infectious diseases in the industrialized world, being able to transmit bacteria, viruses and protozoa through their bite, as well as causing allergic and toxic processes. Among the tick-borne disease the most frequent in our setting are boutonneuse fever, Lyme disease and Debonel/Tibola disease. Boutonneuse fever is the most common rickettsiosis in Europe. An increase in cases has been observed in recent years, probably related to the increase in global temperature.
