Abstract

Ticks are ectoparasite vectors of pathogens affecting human and animal health worldwide. Rational integration of different control interventions including plant-derived repellents and acaricides, management of natural predators, and vaccines is required for innovative approaches to reduce the risks associated with ticks and tick-borne diseases. How tick populations are naturally controlled is always a question. Tick interactions with other arthropods including predators evolved from ancient times. In this study, Cretaceous (ca. 100 Mya) Burmese amber inclusions were identified as probably related to Compluriscutula vetulum (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) tick larvae and spider silk. As illustrated in this study, ancient interactions between ticks and spiders may support arthropod predatory behavior as a natural control intervention. Rational integrative management of different tick control interventions including natural predators under a One Health perspective will contribute to effectively and sustainably reducing the risks associated with ticks and tick-borne diseases.

蜘蛛与蜱虫之间的相互作用--古代节肢动物的捕食行为？

蜱虫是影响全球人类和动物健康的病原体外寄生媒介。需要合理整合不同的控制干预措施，包括植物驱虫剂和杀螨剂、天敌管理和疫苗，以创新方法降低蜱虫和蜱虫传播疾病的相关风险。如何自然控制蜱虫数量一直是个问题。蜱虫与其他节肢动物（包括捕食者）的相互作用从远古时代就开始了。在这项研究中，白垩纪（约 100 Mya）缅甸琥珀内含物被鉴定为可能与 Compluriscutula vetulum（Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae）蜱幼虫和蜘蛛丝有关。如本研究所示，蜱虫与蜘蛛之间古老的相互作用可能支持节肢动物的捕食行为，作为一种自然控制干预措施。从 "一个健康 "的角度出发，对包括天敌在内的不同蜱虫控制干预措施进行合理的综合管理，将有助于有效、可持续地降低与蜱虫和蜱虫传播疾病相关的风险。

期刊介绍： The journal Parasitology Research covers the latest developments in parasitology across a variety of disciplines, including biology, medicine and veterinary medicine. Among many topics discussed are chemotherapy and control of parasitic disease, and the relationship of host and parasite. Other coverage includes: Protozoology, Helminthology, Entomology; Morphology (incl. Pathomorphology, Ultrastructure); Biochemistry, Physiology including Pathophysiology; Parasite-Host-Relationships including Immunology and Host Specificity; life history, ecology and epidemiology; and Diagnosis, Chemotherapy and Control of Parasitic Diseases.
