Abstract
New data were obtained when studying the fauna of Ixodes ticks of the genera Dermacentor, Ixodes, Hyalomma in the foothill and mountain pastures of the Main Caucasus Mountain Range. Materials and methods. The current state of the biodiversity of the fauna of ectoparasites of the family Ixodidae in mammals of the North Caucasus was studied in 2015–2018 on the pastures of the Main Caucasus Range. 2500 ticks were studied for infection with blood parasites. Determination of the species composition of ticks – ixodide carried out by the entomological Atlas. In the foothill pastures of Kabardino-Balkaria, there is a fauna of ixodid ticks, which consists of 28 species. In the mountain pastures of the North Caucasus region, 25 species of ectoparasites of the Ixodidae family were identified: 22 species in the Sukan tract, 25 in the Haymash tract, 20 species in the Big Kurats tract. The fauna of ectoparasites of the family Ixodidae in the tract "Haymash" was supplemented with R. sanguineus, H. numidiana, H. anatolicum, I. apronophorus, D. montanus, R. turanicus, H. pospelovashtromae, H. erinacei, H. asiaticums, H. ernacei, H. asiaticums, H. ernacei, H. aspenlovashtromae, H. erinacei, H. asiaticums, H. aspelovashtromae, H. erinacei, H. asiaticums, H. aspelovashtromae, H. erinacei, H. asiaticums, have been added to the fauna of the family Ixodide complexes. The main hosts of their preimaginal phases in the Haymash tract are rodents and hares, and adults are ruminants. The biodiversity of ixodid ticks (Ixodidae) is represented by Ixodes crenulatus species; H. concinna; I. redikorzevi; I. stromi; Anomalohimalaja cricetuli; D. ushakovae; H. caucasica; H. numidiana; H. erinacei; Hyalomma anatolicum; I. apronophorus; Haemaphysalis punctata; H. pospelovaschtromae; H. asiaticum; H. marginatum; H. scupense; I. pavlovskyi; I. persulcatus; Dermacentor montanus; D. marginatus; Rhipicephalus turanicus; R. pumilio; R. sanguineus.
