prevention of borreliosis in persons bitten by infected ticks.	a study on prevention of borreliosis in humans bitten by infected ticks was performed in 1992-1994 in the perm' region of russia. adult ixodes persulcatus ticks were removed from the study subjects, and live preparations made from the material obtained from the gut of each tick were microscopically analyzed (up to 250 microscopic fields per preparation). persons were divided into experimental and control groups (261 and 97 persons, respectively). the experimental group received doxycycline (100 ...	1996	8740120
[antibacterial therapy as a means of preventing ixodid tick-borne borreliosis].	a special epidemiological experiment to prevent borreliosis in persons bitten by infected ticks was performed in 1992-1994 in the russia's perm region where borrelia garinii and b.afzelii circulate, and ixodes persulcatus tick is the sole vector transmitting these pathogens to human beings. adult ticks were removed from the bodies of persons who had referred to health facilities for first aid. vital preparations were made from the material obtained from the gut of each tick and examined microsco ...	1996	8926931

risk for human tick-borne encephalitis, borrelioses, and double infection in the pre-ural region of russia.	we assessed the risk for human tick-borne encephalitis (tbe), ixodid tick-borne borrelioses, and double infection from 1994 to 1998 in perm, which has among the highest rates of reported cases in russia. we studied 3,473 unfed adult ixodes persulcatus ticks collected from vegetation in natural foci and 62,816 ticks removed from humans. tbe virus and borrelia may coexist in ticks.	2001	11384529
[risk of human infection with ixodes tick-borne relapsing fever in different regional subzones of the perm region].	serological and epidemiological surveys covered 2407 persons in 20 populated localities situated in all large geographical and regional subdivisions (subzones) in the perm region. indirect immunofluorescence tests revealed serum immunoglobulins to borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. antibodies in 1:40 or higher dilution were found in nearly 5 to 11% of the dwellers of localities in the subzones of south taiga, coniferous broad-leaved forests, and forest steppe; about 3-7% and 1-6% of them were pres ...	2002	12224266
[long-term dynamics of the epizootic process in natural foci of ixodid tick borreliosis in mountain taiga forests of the middle ural].	during eleven spring-summer seasons (1992-2002), the dynamics of the epizootic process in natural foci of ixodid tick-borne borrelioses (itbb) were studied in taiga forests of the middle ural (perm province, russia). in these foci, borrelia garinii and b. afzelii circulate, and their main vector is the ixodes persulcatus tick. main parameters of the epizootic process were calculated for each season. in four seasons (1993, 1996, 1999 and 2002), the parameters characterizing the abundance of unfed ...	2004	15174388
[microorganisms of the order rickettsiales in taiga tick (ixodes persulcatus sch.) from the pre-ural region].	the pcr and sequence analysis revealed dna ehrlichia muris, anaplasma phagocytophilum, and rickettsia spp. in the i. persulcatus ticks and blood samples from a patients with acute febrile illness occurring after a tick bite, registered in the seasonal peak of the tick activity of one of the highly endemic areas of russia (perm region). these data confirmed the validity a diagnosis of hme and hga, which were made earlier on the basis of the clinical-serologic survey. in 10.0% of the tested taiga ...	2008	18756787
[etiological structure of complex ixodes tickborne borreliosis natural foci of southern taiga].	89 primary isolates of b. garinii and 72 b. afzelii from different developmental phases of i. persulcatus, i. trianguliceps and form small mammalian hosts of borrelia were obtained at an area of ca. 30 km2 located in low-mountain southern taiga forests (perm region). the area provides home for two borrelia species (b. garinii and b. afzeli) and their natural carrier ixodes persulcatus. 23 isolate of b.garnii were obtained from skin biopsies and blood samples taken in patients with borreliosis. t ...	2011	22168033
