The taiga tick (Schulze, 1930) (Acari, Ixodidae) is the main vector of the tick-borne encephalitis virus and one of the most widespread species of ixodid ticks in the Palaearctic. In this paper, we present long-term data on the seasonal activity of adult ticks in the north-west of their distribution. The seasonal activity of was studied from 1982 to 1990 and from 2012 to 2023 in the middle taiga subzone of Karelia (N62.0697, E33.961). In the study area, adult ticks demonstrate a pronounced spring-summer activity with a unimodal curve of abundance change. A comparison of the monitoring data from the 1980s and the 2010s showed a significant increase in the abundance of in the study area. A tendency towards an earlier start of the tick activity, as compared to the 1980s, is now being observed.
全沟硬蜱(舒尔茨,1930年)(蜱螨亚纲,硬蜱科)是蜱传脑炎病毒的主要传播媒介,也是古北区分布最广泛的硬蜱种类之一。在本文中,我们展示了其分布区域西北部成年蜱季节性活动的长期数据。1982年至1990年以及2012年至2023年期间,在卡累利阿中部泰加林亚区(北纬62.0697,东经33.961)对全沟硬蜱的季节性活动进行了研究。在研究区域,成年全沟硬蜱表现出明显的春夏活动期,丰度变化呈单峰曲线。20世纪80年代和21世纪10年代监测数据的比较显示,研究区域内全沟硬蜱的丰度显著增加。与20世纪80年代相比,现在观察到蜱活动开始时间有提前的趋势。
