Abstract

Ticks are ectoparasites that cause dermatologic reactions directly by their bites and indirectly as vectors of bacterial, protozoal and viral diseases. Consequences vary from minor local reactions to significant systemic sequelae and are therefore of clinical relevance to dermatologists. In this article, Australian ticks of medical importance are reviewed through the lens of dermatology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
