    By extending a mechanistic model for the tick-borne pathogen systemic transmission with the consideration of seasonal climate impacts, host movement as well as the co-feeding transmission route, this paper proposes a novel modeling framework for describing the spatial dynamics of tick-borne diseases. The net reproduction number for tick growth and basic reproduction number for disease transmission are derived, which predict the global dynamics of tick population growth and disease transmission. Numerical simulations not only verify the analytical results, but also characterize the contribution of co-feeding transmission route on disease prevalence in a habitat and the effect of host movement on the spatial spreading of the pathogen.
