Review of "Non-native and invasive ticks: Threats to human and animal health in the United States " by Michael J. Burridge

Although it is rather disappointing that the Publisher decided to use only black and white figures, which does not make sense when books are competing against internet animations, colour pictures and other sources. I hope that such a poor choice will be rectified in the second edition. Nevertheless, this book seems ideal for students and scientists interested in ticks and the readership should not be restricted to the US only, The author is a well-known and respected acarologist who has taken an unusual approach to discuss these ticks. It is a book that I am sure many university libraries and acarology centers would find useful as it presents very specific, accurate and up-to-date information.The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
