What would really happen to the ecosystem if ticks went extinct?

Maybe this is very common opinion, but i hate ticks with a passion. Living in a southern state with so many ticks that you cannot take a walk outside without getting a tick on your body, it comes naturally. But I often wonder, what would REALLY happen if they all left? I think that there might be a little less birds maybe? I dont really know.

I am not looking for medical advice. I am just wondering if anyone knows what caused this?
