On territory of many cities and towns in the Russian Federation, new stable biotopes of hard ticks have been formed up and being occurred constantly. these ticks eat animal and human blood and are agent transmitters of many transmissive tick-born infectious and invasion diseases. They are very stable towards adverse factors of nature environment. The article represents knowledge about risk-oriented monitoring and ixodid tick biotope formation on urban territories. Classification and characteristics of urban territories of contemporary city versus the conditions of ixodid ticks’ biotopes formation and, hence, of focuses of tick diseases are given. For ixodid biotopes eradication in the cities, tick-spread maps should be arranged on the base of geoinformational systems, GIS, and pursue, on their basis, target treatment of greenery with acaricides. GIS can be considered as a research method that might be applied for risk management in retrospective and prognosticating.
