Direct or indirect evidence of pathogenic effect of Borrelia sogdiana, a tick-borne recurrent fever causative agent, on Ornithodoros papillipes is obtained, pointing to a parasitic character of their relations. Differences between infected and uninfected ticks are revealed both under normal life conditions (lower survival, more intensive process of moult), as well as under the effect of poison. Higher sensitivity of infected ticks to DDT was established experimentally; HCCH effect was determined indirectly by counting ticks after treatment. Authors suggest that the effect of causative agent on ticks' viability is more expressed under the conditions close to emergency.
获得了蜱传回归热病原体索格迪亚疏螺旋体对乳突钝缘蜱致病作用的直接或间接证据，表明它们之间的关系具有寄生特性。在正常生活条件下（较低的存活率、更强烈的蜕皮过程）以及在毒物作用下，都揭示了感染蜱和未感染蜱之间的差异。通过实验确定感染蜱对滴滴涕的敏感性更高；通过处理后计数蜱间接确定六六六的效果。作者认为，在接近紧急情况的条件下，病原体对蜱生存能力的影响更为明显。
