Abstract		Ticks are well-known vectors of numerous diseases caused by bacteria, viruses and protozoa. During the last few decades several new tick-borne diseases have been discovered, such as Lyme borreliosis, babesiosis and ehrlichiosis. Slovenia has been recognised for over fifty years as an endemic region for tick-borne encephalitis, and since 1986 also for Lyme borreliosis. Recently, first cases of acute infections by human granulocytic ehrlichiosis were reported in Slovenia. This paper summarises the latest findings regarding epidemiology, clinical pictures, microbiological methods and treatment of tick-borne diseases.
Summary		Klopi so znani prenašalci številnih bolezni, ki jih povzročajo bakterije, virusi in praživali. V zadnjih nekaj desetletjih so odkrili nove bakterijske bolezni, ki jih prenašajo klopi, kot so lymska borelioza, babezioza in erlihioze. Slovenija je že več kot petdeset let endemsko področje za klopni meningoencefalititis, od leta 1986 pa tudi za lymsko boreliozo. V Sloveniji so bili pred kratkim opisani prvi primeri akutne okužbe z humano granulocitno erlihijo. Avtorici podajata pregled novejših dogajanj na področju epidemiologije, klinične slike, diagnostike in zdravljenja teh bolezni.
