Tick Vector Competence

Tick Vector Competence is the intrinsic ability of a tick species to acquire, support, and transmit a specific pathogen to a susceptible vertebrate host, distinguishing it from other arthropod vector capacity traits by focusing specifically on the biological and physiological factors governing pathogen-tick interactions within the context of tick-borne parasitic diseases.
