| Abstract: | The tick fauna of rodents was studied in the Muyunkum (Chu-Talas interfluve) and Eastern Kyzylkum deserts and in the west of Betpakdala. Hyalomma asiaticum asiaticum, Haemaphysalis erinacei turanica, and Ornithodoros tartakovskyi ticks were dominant in all the desert regions but the degree of dominance of individual species varied in different deserts. The greatest number of ticks parasitized Rhombomys opimus and Spermophilus fulvus. The ticks parasitizing rodents are vectors of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Q fever, tick-borne spotted fevers, and borrelioses. |
