[geographic distribution of lyme disease in mudanjiang].four forestry plant in mudanjiang with different geographic characteristics were investigated in 1989. 2178 people were inquired and examined. 74 cases including 54 of ecm, 12 of nervous system disorder and 8 of arthritis were confirmed as lyme disease. there were some patients at other places of forest areas of mudanjiang. the prevalence rate of lyme disease ranged from 1% to 4.5% at four plants with higher rate in mountainous area than in hilly land. it is first report that one strain of lyme ...19911863948
[the morphogenic diapause of the taiga tick and the methods for its quantitative assessment in a field experiment].methods of quantitative estimation of critical photoperiod and critical date of entering the diapause in ixodids have been worked out. s-shaped dependence of the number of diapausing larvae and nymphs of ixodes persulcatus on their feeding periods has been shown. it has been established that in central udmurtia the average critical date of entering the diapause in 50% of satiated larvae and nymphs falls at the 18th and 29th of june, respectively, with the light day length of 17 hr 10 min and 16 ...19911839697
[the results of laboratory and field trials of the action of ektomin on the taiga tick].laboratory and field trials of 60% concentrated ectomin emulsion have been conducted. laboratory experiments on the contact of hungry female individuals of ixodes persulcatus (acarina, ixodidae) with pesticide in the envelopes made of impregnated filter paper have established high imago sensitivity to the preparation--ld50 after a 4-hour contact was 1.10(-6) micrograms/cm2. in field experiments ectomin ensured a 100% effect of hungry ixodes persulcatus elimination 1-2 days later, with the prepar ...19911795676
[the correlation variability of the morphometric traits in 4 species of ixodid tick species (ixodidae)].correlation analysis of 10 characters was run in three species of dermacentor, d. nuttalli, d. ushakovae, d. niveus, and in ixodes persulcatus, separately for each phase and sex. correlation coefficients are very low in larvae of all species. in male nymphs correlation coefficients are on the same level in all species while the correlation coefficient level in female nymphs reflects the degree of independence of the development of characters. this defines the degree of manifestation of sexual di ...19911792099
host associations and seasonal abundance of immature ixodes persulcatus (acari: ixodidae) in a lyme-disease-endemic area in china.ticks of nine small mammal species were studied in an area of endemic lyme disease in hailin county, heilongjiang province, from 1 may to 10 october 1986. the bulk (93%) total small mammal captures were apodemus speciosus (45%), clethrionomys rufocanus (31%), a. agrarius (11%) and eutamias sibiricus; (5%): these host species accounted for 97% of the 162 ticks collected. ixodes persulcatus schulze were most abundant on e. sibiricus (0.64 larvae and 0.08 nymphs/squirrel), and less abundant on a. a ...19911773682
[the modification of a medium for culturing and isolating the causative agent of lyme disease].possible use of three types of media (prepared on the basis of 199, rpmi and mem, the rest of receipt being recommended for bsk-ii) for cultivation of the agent of lyme's disease is reviewed. the most satisfactory borrelia burgdorferi growth has been noted on the medium with base 199. using the same medium 5 spirochaete isolates have been obtained from 10 passages of the material from 41 ticks, ixodes persulcatus sch. and i. ricinus l. the results seem promising for further studies on the elabor ...19911770889
[the optimization of a method for assessing the contagiosity and the degree of individual infectiousness of ticks with borrelia].the results of dark-ground microscopy of 478 positive preparations from ixodes persulcatus sch. and i. ricinus l., gathered in the active natural foci of lyme's disease in leningrad province, have been analysed. the preparation was prepared by cutting ticks placed into a drop of physiologic saline, with needles. it has been demonstrated that if all the standard conditions are fulfilled (magnification 600, drop volume 0.02 ml, covering glasses, 18 x 18 mm) it is practically impossible to overlook ...19911770879
