Abstract

The worldwide the Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) are a great challenge from health and economic importance. Babesia protozoan parasites of the genus Babesia, order Piroplasmida, phylum Apicomplexa) and theileriosis are transmitted by different species of ticks. The first incident of theileria related parasite (T. annulata) infection was reported in 1979 from Afghanistan. By looking to the effect of climate on the living biology of ticks 25-35 C is favorable degree for the tick’s activities. The climate change is a hot topic of the day and in this article we shortly reviewed the possible effects of hot climate on ticks’ biology as vector for Babesia and thielaria parasites. In the end we can conclude that if the temperature is getting increase more than 40 degrees the ticks biological activities will be effected casing reduction in related disease and related disease may emerge in other provinces where the climate condition (temperature, humidity etc.) is not suitable at the present time. Hence, it is crucial to share the strategies for disease control and mitigation, particularly those transmitted by ticks, with healthcare professionals and communities in other provinces. Collaboration with doctors and experts, such as those currently working in Nangarhar province, through educational programs can facilitate knowledge sharing and preparedness efforts in other regions.
