Abstract
The article presents data on the species diversity of blood-sucking arthropods in settlements of various types of the northern climatic region of Belarus. A total of 3 species of Ixodidae − Ixodes persulcatus (Schulze, 1930), Ixodes ricinus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Dermacentor reticulatus Fabricius, 1794; 14 species of mosquitoes from 3 genera (Aedes Meigen, 1818; Anopheles Meigen, 1818; Coquillettidia Dyar, 1905) and 9 black fly species from 6 genera (Simulium Latreille, 1802; Wilhelmia Enderlein, 1921; Cnetha Enderlein, 1921; Eusimulium Roubaud, 1906; Boophthora Ender-lein, 1921; Odagmia Enderlein, 1921) have been found. The abundance of Ixodidae averaged 6,1±1,97 per flag/km, adult mosquitoes − 12,5±2,9 individuals per sampling, larvae − 40,5±22,4 individuals per square meter, immature black flies − 96,6±12,7 individuals per square decimeters. The highest species diversity of mosquitoes was observed in the city of regional subordination, black flies − in the town of district subordination.
