Each of these diseases is caused by a distinct pathogen, and symptoms vary depending on the type and severity of infection. The spread of these diseases occur through the blood meals of tick or mosquitos, where the pathogen gains access to the human body, usually triggering an immune response that contributes to disease progression. Understanding the interdependence of pathogen to disease vector along with transmission route to humans shapes our diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. This book focuses on five distinct examples of vector borne disease: Malaria, West Nile, Lyme disease, dengue fever, and bubonic plaque. Malaria involves the mosquito vector and occurs when mosquito transmit the Plasmodium parasite to humans. West Nile and dengue fever also involve different mosquito vectors, but in this case transmission of the West Nile virus or dengue fever virus cause disease. Fleas transmit the bubonic plague causing bacterium Y. pestis. Lyme disease results from the transmission of the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi to humans through the bit of a tick. In each case we consider current and future issues related to disease progression, diagnosis, and treatments."-- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Insects as carriers of disease $z United States. 650 0 $a Ticks as carriers of disease $z United States. 650 0 $a Tick-borne diseases $z United States. 650 0 $a Ticks. 830 0 $a Human diseases and conditions collection. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190305053421.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5D5505B026B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
