Abstract
This problem is also relevant for urbanized cases, especially for the southern regions of the country, where there are cases of spread of ticks. Research on the basis of the Department of Parasitology and Veterinary and Sanitary Expertise, Anatomy and Pathology named after prof. S. N. Nikolsky and the Scientific, Diagnostic and Treatment Veterinary Center of the FGBOU HE "Stavropol State Agrarian University", as well as on the basis of the veterinary clinic IP Zaichenko "Veterinary Center named after. Pirogov. The object of the study was ixodid ticks of the genera Dermacentor and Ixodes, seized using a specialized trap, as well as seized with dogs in veterinary clinics during the acceptance. The study showed that two main types of ixodid ticks are widespread in the city of Stavropol: Demacentor and Ixodes. According to the results of research in 2022, female ticks of the genus Dermacentor identified 54% of the total number of adults, males - 46%. Female ticks of the genus Ixodes accounted for 61% of the total number of adults, males - 39%. The spring peak of activity in 2023 showed that female ticks of the genus Dermacentor were identified in the amount of 102 individuals, males - 78 individuals. Female ticks of the genus Ixodes accounted for 53% of the total number of adults, males - 47%. Thus, it has been established that the most widespread distribution of ixodid ticks takes place in the Industrial District of Stavropol, the distribution of alleys, forest zones and walking areas with the coverage of the species of ticks of the genus Dermacentor, is 79% of the total number of captured ectoparasites.
