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,...

Recently, significant changes in world tick fauna have been reported and this affects the spread of tick-borne pathogens.
