[Characteristics of the distribution of Ixodes persulcatus in the forest-park area of Novosibirsk]. / Osobennosti raspredeleniia Ixodes persulcatus v lesoparkovoi zone g. Novosibirska.

Only one species of ixodid ticks Ixodes persulcatus occurs in the forest-park zone. Conditions of foliage forests with high grass, where occur hosts of all developmental phases of ticks (elks, hares, rodents, insectivores), are most favourable for I. persulcatus. Preimaginal phases of I. persulcatus feed, in general, on dominant species (common shrew, redbacked and narrow-skulled voles, field mouse and northern birch mouse).
