Low-energy microwave radiation in the frequency range in question was found to exert a noticeable biological action on H. asiaticum. Radiation delayed larval hatch by 3-20 days, increased the activity duration of newly moulted larvae by 17-24 days, reduces the survival of hungry larvae and nymphs by 4-10 days. The efficiency of the biological action of microwaves is enhanced by impairments in the natural developmental rhythm of the tick.
