[Organization and tactics of the ground tick control in the south of the Tyumen Region].

Measures for protection of the general population from the attacks of vectors of natural and focal infections were implemented by OOO "Spetsbioservis" at the expense of the regional budget in the involving foci oftick-borne encephalitis (TBE) and Ixodes tick-borne encephalitis in the south of the Tyumen Region during 2002-2004. The organizational and tactical issues of ground antitick treatments were perfected during this work. The paper describes the maximum effective completeness of teams of disinfectors and their supply with materials and equipment, as applied to local conditions.

[Efficiency of control of Ixodes ticks, vectors of natural and focal infections in the south of the Tyumen Region].

There are synchronous undulating variations in the number of ticks and in the incidence of tick-borne encephalitis and Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis in the south of the Tyumen Region. Since 1990s, there has been an increase in the incidence of tick-borne infections and in the number of ticks. The highest epidemic risk areas of 1418 have been treated with acaricides due to the additional financing made by the Tyumen Region in 2002-2004.

[Comparative characterization of a risk for infection with tick-borne encephalitis in the foci with different regional confinement].

A comparative study of the foci of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) has revealed that the infectivity of vectors taiga ticks (Ixodes persulcatus) plays the leading role in the formation of foci with the highest epidemic activity (including forest steppe ones). The morbidity rates in each regional focus are directly related to the number of tick-bitten persons and to the quantity of the vector.

[The results of a study of the acaricidal activity of the preparation Fewry-med].

The acaricidal activity of Fewry-med (10% zeta-zipermethrin) against Ixodes persulcatus was studied in laboratory and field conditions. The drug's doses of 0.01-0.

[A new generation of acaricide--attractant acaricidal granules].

The paper gives a brief account of the earlier results of papers with the development of attractive acaricidal granules (AAGs) and the results of their field tests in Tyumen Province and Krasnoyarsk Territory. AAGs in combination with sumithion yielded the best results than those with permethrin: their efficacy was over 90% and their action lasted 1.5 months.
