Variation in infection of ixodes ticks by borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis virus IN NSC SB RAS during 2009-2011
In April-September, 2009-2011 the ticks, removed from people in the Novosibirsk Scientific Center of SB RAS were analyzed for the presence of Borrelia and tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). This area was allocated to five locations with different types of vegetation. We analyzed the distribution of positive samples in these areas during the tick season. As a result of this work it has been found that the peak detection of Borrelia and TBEV is in May and June of each season. It was found that the human impact on the area significantly alters tick TBEV infection and tick contamination of various Borrelia species.
