Ticks are small arachnids critters in the "Acari Parasitiformes". They are ectoparasites, which means, It can live outside the host.
Tick species are widely distributed around the world, but they tend to thrive in countries with warm, humid climates, because they require a certain amount of moisture in the air to undergo metamorphosis, and because low temperatures inhibit their development from egg to larva. Ticks of domestic animals, like livestock, are especially common and varied in tropical countries.
For an ecosystem to support ticks, it must satisfy two requirements: the population density of host species in the area must be high enough, and humidity must be high enough for ticks to remain hydrated According to these studies, certain features of a given microclimate – such as sandy soil, hardwood trees, rivers, and the presence of deer – were determined to be good predictors of dense tick populations.
