LONG-TERM TRENDS OF CHANGES IN INFESTATION RATE OF THE BAIKAL REGION POPULATION BY IXODIC TICKS

Ixodid ticks are the vectors of many pathogens including tick-borne encephalitis virus and the Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. In Pribaikalye, Ixodes persulcatus, Dermacentor nuttalli, D. silvarum and Haemaphysalis concinna are regarded as main vectors of the diseases. Recently,...
