The analysis of fauna and bloodsucking tick populations parasitizing on small forest mammals has been carried out for 4 faunistic zones of the Nizhni Novgorod region. A species list of parasitic ticks is given, as well as data on host-parasite relations and peculiarities of each zone. Similarities and differences of faunistic complexes of parasitic ticks of forest micromammals have been shown using the Chekanovsky-Sorensen similarity index and cluster analysis. |
