Discovery of the Taiga Tick - Ixodes persulcatus Schulze, 1930 (Parasitiformes, Ixodidae) in Magadan Oblast
The data on the registration of the Taiga tick (Ixodes persulcatus Schulze, 1930) in Magadan Oblast are presented. The northern boundary of the range of I. persulcatus habitat in the Russian Far East was believed to be located along the southern coast of the Uda Bay. The data obtained in recent years suggest the expansion of the Taiga tick distribution along the Okhotsk Sea coast northward, as far as the city of Magadan.
