[Population density of Ixodes persulcatus ticks (Ixodidae) in the western Sikhote-Alin]. 1978

G V Kolonin, and A N Kiselev, and E I Bolotin

The paper presents data on the population density of active ticks in different landscape zones of West Sykhote-Alyn as well as the material on the absolute abundance of ticks in four experimental 400 m2 areas. The abundance of active Ixodes persulcatus and Haemaphysalis japonica on vegetation at the peak of their activity was found to amount to half of all hibernated adult ticks.

D013987	Ticks	Blood-sucking acarid parasites of the order Ixodida comprising two families: the softbacked ticks (ARGASIDAE) and hardbacked ticks (IXODIDAE). Ticks are larger than their relatives, the MITES. They penetrate the skin of their host by means of highly specialized, hooked mouth parts and feed on its blood. Ticks attack all groups of terrestrial vertebrates. In humans they are responsible for many TICK-BORNE DISEASES, including the transmission of ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER; TULAREMIA; BABESIOSIS; AFRICAN SWINE FEVER; and RELAPSING FEVER.
