Abstract
This article presents the results of studying the abundance, biotopic preference and seasonal dynamics of the meadow tick Dermacentor reticulatus Fabricius, 1794 (= D. pictus Hermann, 1804) in the Perm Krai. D. reticulatus mites prefer open biotopes, concentrating in moist areas. The number of ticks ranged in spring from 1 to 11.5 specimens per flago/km, and in autumn from 0.5 to 23.5 specimens per flago/km. Two periods of activity have been established: spring and autumn. In autumn, the number of ticks of this species is higher than in spring.
