Rational integration of different control interventions including plant-derived repellents and acaricides, management of natural predators, and vaccines is required for innovative approaches to reduce the risks associated with ticks and tick-borne diseases. How tick populations are naturally controlled is always a question. Tick interactions with other arthropods including predators evolved from ancient times. In this study, Cretaceous (ca. 100 Mya) Burmese amber inclusions were identified as probably related to Compluriscutula vetulum (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) tick larvae and spider silk. As illustrated in this study, ancient interactions between ticks and spiders may support arthropod predatory behavior as a natural control intervention. Rational integrative management of different tick control interventions including natural predators under a One Health perspective will contribute to effectively and sustainably reducing the risks associated with ticks and tick-borne diseases. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2.0 2024 PARASITOLOGY 25 / 47 = 0.532 2024 Q3 T2 0.565 2024 Veterinary (miscellaneous) 2024 Q1 Insect Science 2024 Q2 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2024 Q2 Parasitology 2024 Q2 Infectious Diseases 2024 Q3 3.8 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Estrada-Peña, Agustín Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7483-046X Labruna, Marcelo B.
