Article Synopsis
- Ticks are major ectoparasites that spread serious diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, posing challenges for public health and livestock due to emerging resistance to acaricides.
- The review discusses how genetic mutations, metabolic processes, and behavior contribute to this resistance, while also highlighting the economic impact estimated at $20 billion in livestock loss annually.
- It emphasizes the need for new acaricides, innovative control strategies, and regular monitoring to effectively manage tick populations and protect public health and livestock productivity.

Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is transmitted by the black-legged tick and presents with fever, thrombocytopenia, leukocytopenia, and elevated transaminases. If left untreated, HGA can progress to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), which can be fatal. Here, we discuss a case of a woman diagnosed with anaplasmosis who was treated promptly.

Adult-onset hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome characterized by dysregulated immune activation. Diagnosing HLH poses significant challenges due to its nonspecific clinical presentation, which often mimics infections, malignancies, and autoimmune diseases. Early recognition and prompt initiation of immunosuppressive therapy are crucial, as delayed treatment is associated with a high risk of mortality.

Ticks are vectors of public health concern because the pathogens they transmit can cause detrimental diseases in humans. Lyme disease, tick-borne relapsing fever, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tick-borne encephalitis, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, and babesiosis are some of the most common diseases caused by the pathogens transmitted by ticks. The overlap between human activities and tick habitats is growing, contributing to an increase in tick-borne disease cases.

Vector-borne diseases have been a growing health concern in recent decades due to the global warming, globalization, and increased international travel. With the typical Mediterranean climate and geographical features, Cyprus provides favorable conditions for the growth and survival of arthropod species. For the purpose of this review article, the terms "Cyprus", "vectors" and "vectorborne diseases" were searched in the National Library of Medicine ('PubMed') and the Google Scholar databases.
