As blood-feeding parasites, ticks are able to transmit to their hosts a wide variety of pathogens which may cause tick-borne infections and tick-borne diseases (TBDs) that affect wild and domestic animals, including companion animals.

Vectorial competence is the overall ability of a vector tick species to transmit a pathogen to a range of receptive vertebrate hosts in a given location at a specific time.
