In humans, an obvious reduction of the impact of ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs) could be managed by informing the population on the risks associated with ticks and TBD, involving frequent public news media and advertisements, as currently carried out in northern countries of Europe, which are measuring their impact and adaptation. Although the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control provide online free access to information about TBD, gaps are obvious in both the transmitted information and the ability of citizens to understand the information. The same applies to ticks feeding on pets, that have an extraordinarily high contact with humans.
