Abstract:

Ixodid ticks (Ixodidae), horse flies (Tabanidae), and mosquitoes (Culicidae) are the most important taxons of bloodsucking arthropods in the Lower Volga region. They are vectors of pathogens of infection and invasion diseases. Climate warming and man-caused factors may stimulate the development and migration of arthropods to northern regions and promote disease pathogen circulation in new territories. Distribution monitoring of different pathogens is suggested for biological safety.
