ABILITY TO ASSESS THE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION OF INFECTIONS TRANSMITTED BY IXODES TICKS ON THE BASIS OF THE NUMBER AND ACTIVITY OF THE VECTOR

Abstract

We performed graphic and statistical analysis of twelve-year data concerning the incidence of infections transmitted. by Ixodes ticks, their abundance and activity in the south of Primorye territory. We found significant correlation between the incidence and. level of vectors activity, as well as inverse relationships between activity of ticks and. tick-borne encephalitis incidence and. Lyme disease.
