Hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) are the economically and ecologically most important blood-sucking arthropod vectors that can transmit disease agents under temperate climate. In this group, the highest number of species (currently nearing 270) belongs to the genus Ixodes. For this review, more than 400 papers related to this genus in the context of Russia were checked for data on the host records, locations of collection, as well as ecology of assigned tick species. This monograph compensates for the lack of a similarly comprehensive English-language overview of Ixodes species in the region of Russia for nearly half century, and also makes a large set of data easily available for international readers, which is especially important if the original source is difficult to access from outside this country. In addition, the data from a significant number of papers on this topic available only in the Russian language are made accessible through this work. 硬蜱（蜱虫目：硬蜱科）是经济和生态上最重要的吸血节肢动物媒介，能够在温带气候下传播病原体。在这个群体中，物种数量最多（目前接近 270）的属是伊克索德属。为了这篇综述，检查了 400 多篇与该属在俄罗斯背景下相关的论文，获取了宿主记录、采集地点以及指定蜱种的生态数据。这本专著弥补了近半个世纪以来俄罗斯地区伊克索德属物种的类似全面英文概述的缺乏，同时也使大量数据对国际读者易于获取，这在原始来源难以从该国外部访问时尤为重要。此外，通过这项工作，许多仅以俄语发表的相关论文的数据也得以公开。

Introduction 介绍
Russia is the largest country of the globe, covering nearly one third of the territory of Eurasia and 1//8^("th ")1 / 8^{\text {th }} of the entire Earth’s landmass. It belongs to the Palearctic Zoogeographic Region (Guglielmone et al. 2023). The ecosystems of Russia are very diverse, including polar deserts, tundra, forest tundra, taiga, mixed and broad-leaved forests, forest steppe, steppe, semi-desert, and subtropics. At least 1100 species of terrestrial vertebrates are known to occur in this country, of which 65% of the territory is considered virtually untouched by economic and other human activities (CBD 2023). 俄罗斯是全球最大的国家，覆盖了几乎三分之一的欧亚大陆和 1//8^("th ")1 / 8^{\text {th }} 的整个地球陆地面积。它属于古北界动物地理区（Guglielmone et al. 2023）。俄罗斯的生态系统非常多样，包括极地沙漠、苔原、森林苔原、针叶林、混交林和阔叶林、森林草原、草原、半沙漠和亚热带。已知该国至少有 1100 种陆生脊椎动物，其中 65%的领土被认为几乎未受到经济和其他人类活动的影响（CBD 2023）。
With such a vast area, the broad spectrum of suitable habitats and vertebrate hosts in the background, the tick fauna of Russia was extensively studied. Although there was an enormous collection of data published in English (Anastos 1957), because it is more than half a century old, it is outdated. Moreover, the most well-known source describing the taxonomic diversity of Ixodidae Koch in this country and its nearby regions was compiled decades ago (Filippova 1977; 在如此广阔的区域背景下，适合的栖息地和脊椎动物宿主的广泛谱系，俄罗斯的蜱类动物群得到了广泛研究。尽管有大量的数据以英语发布（Anastos 1957），但由于这已经是半个多世纪前的资料，因此显得过时。此外，描述该国及其周边地区蜱科（Ixodidae Koch）分类多样性的最著名来源是在几十年前编纂的（Filippova 1977；
1997), and is only available in the Russian language. This book on ixodid species in Russia included 34 Ixodes Latreille species, which is updated to 37 by adding species with more recent data, as exemplified by Ixodes prokopjevi Emelyanova and I. ghilarovi Filippova & Panova, as well as I. turdus Nakatsudi with its first and single record (Bolotin and Kolonin 1979). Recent work has also been published including a list of hard tick species known to be indigenous in Russia (Guglielmone et al. 2023) with indications of tick species of other post-Soviet countries. However, the latter does not consider their specific locations or host records and various distinctive features of biology relevant to certain regions. Less studied species (some often known exclusively from these territories by single or a limited number of findings) are also reviewed here in more detail, in particular with the addition of precise data on their type specimens. 1997 年），仅提供俄语版本。这本关于俄罗斯蜱科物种的书籍包括 34 种伊克索德斯属（Ixodes Latreille）物种，更新至 37 种，增加了根据最新数据添加的物种，例如伊克索德斯·普罗科普耶夫（Ixodes prokopjevi Emelyanova）和伊克索德斯·吉拉罗夫（I. ghilarovi Filippova & Panova），以及伊克索德斯·土耳其（I. turdus Nakatsudi）的首次和唯一记录（Bolotin 和 Kolonin 1979）。最近的研究还发布了包括已知在俄罗斯本土的硬蜱物种的名单（Guglielmone 等，2023），并指出了其他后苏联国家的蜱物种。然而，后者并未考虑它们的具体位置或宿主记录，以及与某些地区相关的各种生物学特征。这里还更详细地回顾了研究较少的物种（一些通常仅通过单一或有限数量的发现而独占这些地区），特别是增加了关于其类型标本的精确数据。
The need was recognized for a comprehensive work that would contain data and references from the last decades, written in English, which would thus be accessible by experts and anyone interested in the current ixodid fauna and its supportive hosts in the vast geographical and biotope range of Russia, as well as several other post-Soviet territories. In this review the authors tried to compensate for this scarcity of fresh information on hard ticks occurring in Russia and former states of the Soviet Union, targeting the most species-rich genus, Ixodes. Although the checklist and georeferenced data might still contain gaps, this work is also intended to be used as baseline data for the unfolding quest to discover and to describe not-yet-known ixodid species in this extensive geographical range. 认识到需要一部全面的著作，包含过去几十年的数据和参考资料，使用英语撰写，从而使专家和任何对当前的蜱虫动物群及其在俄罗斯广阔的地理和生境范围内的支持宿主感兴趣的人都能获取。在这篇综述中，作者试图弥补关于发生在俄罗斯和前苏联国家的硬蜱的新信息的匮乏，目标是物种最丰富的属——蜱属。尽管清单和地理参考数据可能仍然存在空白，但这项工作也旨在作为基线数据，用于不断探索和描述在这一广泛地理范围内尚未发现的蜱虫物种。
Materials and methods 材料与方法
The relevance of publications used in this review was searched in databases using the keywords of Ixodes species, their hosts, and locality or region. The following databases were used: Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences (including its department at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences), Springer Link, Web of Science, Zoological Record, Google Scholar, and CyberLeninka - the Russian scientific electronic library. However, a limited number of works was excluded from consideration and inclusion in the review due to the absence of scientific background and/or indeterminate data. Similarly, papers with repetitive data (i.e., not adding new tick-host associations, geographical locations to existing literature data) are not cited. 在本综述中使用的出版物的相关性是通过使用 Ixodes 物种、其宿主和地点或区域的关键词在数据库中进行搜索的。使用了以下数据库：俄罗斯科学院图书馆（包括其在俄罗斯科学院动物学研究所的部门）、Springer Link、Web of Science、Zoological Record、Google Scholar 和 CyberLeninka - 俄罗斯科学电子图书馆。然而，由于缺乏科学背景和/或不确定数据，有限数量的作品被排除在考虑和纳入综述之外。同样，具有重复数据的论文（即未向现有文献数据添加新的蜱-宿主关联、地理位置）不被引用。
The same databases were used for searching and estimating the data on Ixodes from the post-Soviet territories, reviewed in this checklist: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan. The Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) were excluded from the consideration due to the availability of recently updated tick checklists, as well as the well-studied tick fauna (Paulauskas et al. 2010; Kitrytė and Baltrūnaite 2023), which is also very similar to the tick fauna of neighboring Belarus and northwestern Russia. 相同的数据库用于搜索和估计来自后苏联地区的 Ixodes 数据，详见本清单：俄罗斯、白俄罗斯、乌克兰、摩尔多瓦、格鲁吉亚、阿塞拜疆、亚美尼亚、哈萨克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦、土库曼斯坦和塔吉克斯坦。由于最近更新的蜱虫清单的可用性以及研究充分的蜱虫动物群（Paulauskas 等，2010；Kitrytė和 Baltrūnaite，2023），波罗的海国家（爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚和立陶宛）被排除在考虑之外，这些蜱虫动物群与邻近的白俄罗斯和俄罗斯西北部的蜱虫动物群也非常相似。
Within Prostriata (genus Ixodes), tick species names are arranged according to their subgenera and are used sensu Guglielmone et al. (2014). The Latin names of tick species are written according to Guglielmone et al. (2023). The only exception is Ixodes filippovae Černý which we consider a synonym of Ixodes crenulatus Koch according to Filippova (1958a, 1977). The names of host species are written in accordance with their international English names, as well as the current 在 Prostriata（属 Ixodes）中，蜱虫物种名称根据其亚属排列，并根据 Guglielmone 等人（2014）的定义使用。蜱虫物种的拉丁名称根据 Guglielmone 等人（2023）书写。唯一的例外是 Ixodes filippovae Černý，我们根据 Filippova（1958a，1977）认为它是 Ixodes crenulatus Koch 的同义词。宿主物种的名称根据其国际英文名称以及当前的
Latin names using the online databases, such as ASM Mammal Diversity Database (https://www.mammaldiversity.org/index.html) as well as Avibase (https:// avibase.bsc-eoc.org/) and Reptile Database (http://www.reptile-database.org/). 使用在线数据库的拉丁名称，例如 ASM 哺乳动物多样性数据库（https://www.mammaldiversity.org/index.html），以及 Avibase（https:// avibase.bsc-eoc.org/）和爬行动物数据库（http://www.reptile-database.org/）。
Recorded hosts.

in general. As a nidicolous parasite of seabirds living in colonies, it is a species with a circumpolar distribution, occurring on oceanic coasts and islands of both the northern and southern hemispheres, from the polar regions to the subtropical zone (Wilson 1967; Filippova 1977). 一般来说，作为一种生活在群体中的海鸟的巢寄生虫，它是一种具有环极分布的物种，分布于北半球和南半球的海洋海岸和岛屿，从极地地区到亚热带区域（Wilson 1967；Filippova 1977）。
In the northern hemisphere, this tick species is strongly associated with seabirds of the family Alcidae. The high degree of nest conservativity of these birds contributes to supporting a considerable number of ticks in bird colonies, which use the same places for many years (Karpovich 1971). The occasional hosts of II. uriae usually become involved in its life cycle in mixed bird colonies, where nests of typical and atypical hosts are located very close to each other (Violovich 1962b). In absence of auks, it may also use, for example, cormorants as exclusive hosts, as reported on the Kuril Islands (Lvov et al. 1975; Dietrich et al. 2012). In the southern hemisphere it was noted that penguins (Spheniscidae) are more typical hosts; this can be explained by similarities in the habits of these birds to those of puffins and guillemots. 在北半球，这种蜱虫与海鸟（海雀科）有很强的关联。这些鸟类的巢穴保守性高，支持了鸟类群落中相当数量的蜱虫，这些蜱虫在同一地点使用多年（Karpovich 1971）。 II . uriae 的偶尔宿主通常在混合鸟类群落中参与其生命周期，在这些地方，典型和非典型宿主的巢穴非常接近（Violovich 1962b）。在缺乏海雀的情况下，它也可能使用例如鸬鹚作为唯一宿主，正如在库页岛上所报道的那样（Lvov et al. 1975; Dietrich et al. 2012）。在南半球，注意到企鹅（企鹅科）是更典型的宿主；这可以通过这些鸟类的习性与海雀和海鸥的相似性来解释。
There were noted rare records of adults from Carnivora: Mustelidae, and nymphs from Rodentia: Muridae (Eley 1977; Jaenson and Jensen 2007; Baggs et al. 2011; Guglielmone et al. 2020) and even humans (Karpovich 1971; Keirans and Lacombe 1998; Martyn 1998; Smith et al. 2006; Jaenson and Jensen 2007). 在食肉目：鼬科的成年个体和啮齿目：鼠科的若虫中，记录到罕见的案例（Eley 1977；Jaenson 和 Jensen 2007；Baggs 等 2011；Guglielmone 等 2020），甚至还有人类（Karpovich 1971；Keirans 和 Lacombe 1998；Martyn 1998；Smith 等 2006；Jaenson 和 Jensen 2007）。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes simplex is a tick species specialized for bats as hosts (Filippova 1977). This species is mainly monoxenous and can be found usually on the common bent-wing bat although some other species of the Chiroptera may also act as hosts, especially which share colonies with its main host (Beaucournu 1967). Some rare cases of human infestation are also recorded (Okino et al. 2010; Péter et al. 2021). 生态学和其他信息。简单蜱是一种专门以蝙蝠为宿主的蜱虫种类（Filippova 1977）。该物种主要是单宿主的，通常可以在普通弯翼蝙蝠上找到，尽管一些其他的翼手目物种也可能作为宿主，特别是与其主要宿主共享栖息地的物种（Beaucournu 1967）。也有一些罕见的人类感染案例被记录（Okino et al. 2010; Péter et al. 2021）。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes vespertilionis Koch is a species of ixodid ticks associated with bats as typical hosts (Filippova 1977), mostly from the families Rhinolophidae and Vespertilionidae. Usually, I. vespertilionis can be found in caves inhabited by bats. Occasional findings in Central Russia and Siberia are considered to result from accidental transportation. 生态学和其他信息。夜蝠蜱（Ixodes vespertilionis Koch）是一种与蝙蝠作为典型宿主相关的蜱虫（Filippova 1977），主要来自于犀头蝠科和蝙蝠科。通常，夜蝠蜱可以在蝙蝠栖息的洞穴中找到。在中俄和西伯利亚偶尔发现的个体被认为是由于意外运输所致。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes ghilarovi is the second representative of the subgenus Filippoviella in the Palearctic tick fauna together with I. trianguliceps but known at the current moment exclusively from several locations of the Caucasus (Filippova and Panova 1988). The species was found only in rocky biotopes on the slopes containing xerophilous herbaceous-shrub vegetation consisting of many endemics of Southern Dagestan (Filippova and Panova 1989). 生态学和其他信息。伊克索德斯·吉拉罗维是古北界蜱类动物中亚属 Filippoviella 的第二个代表，与 I. trianguliceps 一起，但目前仅在高加索的几个地点被发现（Filippova 和 Panova 1988）。该物种仅在含有许多南达吉斯坦特有植物的干旱草本灌木植被的坡地岩石生境中被发现（Filippova 和 Panova 1989）。
Further investigations of this poorly studied tick species are of undoubted interest. Ixodes ghilarovi has certain common structural features with the African 对这种研究较少的蜱虫物种的进一步调查无疑是有趣的。伊克斯德斯·吉拉罗维与非洲有某些共同的结构特征。

species I. alluaudi, for example the presence of auriculae, especially visible in nymphs of both species (Filippova 2010); molecular analysis is also necessary to obtain more data on interspecific connections of these ticks and inside the subgenus in general. The host-parasite relations of I. ghilarovi and its distribution and habitats are probably wider than it is known today. The seasonality of I. ghilarovi and its role as a vector of tick-borne infections remain unknown. 物种 I. alluaudi，例如耳状物的存在，尤其在这两种物种的若虫中尤为明显（Filippova 2010）；分子分析也是必要的，以获取有关这些蜱虫之间的种间联系以及亚属内部的一般数据。I. ghilarovi 的宿主-寄生虫关系及其分布和栖息地可能比目前已知的更广泛。I. ghilarovi 的季节性及其作为蜱传播感染的媒介的作用仍然未知。
The type specimens of I. ghilarovi are deposited at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and include the holotype: nymph; Russia, 25, Daghestan, Samur Mt.

Baikal to Western Europe (Filippova 2010; Estrada-Peña et al. 2018). In the north it reaches northern Karelia and the Scandinavian Peninsula (Fedorov and Leonovich 2021). Also, an isolated southern population of this species was found in the Crimean Peninsula (Filippova 2010) although in other parts of Ukraine it is present in forest zones, such as Polesia (Podobivskyi and Fedonyuk 2017). 贝加尔湖到西欧（Filippova 2010；Estrada-Peña 等 2018）。在北部，它到达北卡累利阿和斯堪的纳维亚半岛（Fedorov 和 Leonovich 2021）。此外，在克里米亚半岛发现了该物种的一个孤立的南部种群（Filippova 2010），尽管在乌克兰的其他地区，它出现在森林区域，如波列西亚（Podobivskyi 和 Fedonyuk 2017）。
The population that was supposed to be isolated in the mountain systems of the Caucasus (Filippova 2010) now seems to be more expanded, as proved by the recent finding in Turkey (Bolu and Kars province, the north of Turkey) (Keskin and Selçuk 2021). The Kars province is located near the border with Georgia, where this species was known before (Djaparidze 1960) and, therefore, the ticks reported from there are probably part of the same Caucasian population. 原本应该在高加索山脉中隔离的人口（Filippova 2010）现在似乎更加扩展，最近在土耳其的发现证明了这一点（土耳其北部的博卢和卡尔斯省）（Keskin 和 Selçuk 2021）。卡尔斯省位于与格鲁吉亚的边界附近，该物种之前就已知存在于此（Djaparidze 1960），因此，从那里报告的蜱虫可能是同一高加索种群的一部分。
The map of findings of this tick species in Russia clearly illustrates that it lives in a broad range of forest biotopes throughout a vast territory including the zonal and mountain deciduous and mixed forest of the European type and forests of southern and middle-taiga types. Along the southern border of the largest part of the range in Russia, I. trianguliceps occurs in the forest-steppe zone, populating shrubby and forested biotopes. This distinctly correlates with the main habitats of shrews and rodents, because the presence of these small mammals together with well-developed soil litter, plays an important role in the abundance of ticks in the landscape, as it is known that shrews of the genus Sorex are the most preferable host for larvae (Randolph 1975). 该蜱种在俄罗斯的发现地图清楚地表明，它生活在广泛的森林生境中，覆盖了包括欧洲类型的带状和山地落叶林及南部和中部泰加林的广阔领土。在俄罗斯最大分布区的南部边界，I. trianguliceps 出现在森林-草原带，栖息于灌木和森林生境中。这与鼩鼱和啮齿动物的主要栖息地明显相关，因为这些小型哺乳动物的存在以及发达的土壤落叶层在景观中对蜱的丰度起着重要作用，因为已知鼩鼱属的鼩鼱是幼虫最喜欢的宿主（Randolph 1975）。
Interestingly, I. triangulipeps was also reported from two bat species (Myotis myotis in Poland (Siuda et al. 2009) and Nyctalus noctula in Russia, as well as several bird species and one reptile species (Filippova 1977). These animals are non-typical and occasional hosts for this tick species. The single cases of parasitism on these host species can be a clear indication that II. trianguliceps is predominantly an exophilic species, because it is unlikely that ticks could contact bats and birds in a burrow. Findings of this tick species in micropores of burrow tunnels in Belarus in winter (Arzamasov 1963) demonstrate only the ability of its larvae to remain active even during winter. 有趣的是，I. triangulipeps 也在两种蝙蝠物种（波兰的 Myotis myotis（Siuda et al. 2009）和俄罗斯的 Nyctalus noctula）以及几种鸟类和一种爬行动物物种（Filippova 1977）中被报道。这些动物是这种蜱虫物种的非典型和偶然宿主。这些宿主物种上的寄生单个案例可以清楚地表明 II . trianguliceps 主要是一种外寄生物种，因为蜱虫不太可能在洞穴中接触到蝙蝠和鸟类。在白俄罗斯冬季发现这种蜱虫物种在洞穴隧道的微孔中（Arzamasov 1963）仅表明其幼虫即使在冬季也能保持活跃。
Phylogenetic trees inferred from the concatenated nucleotide sequences of 10 protein-coding genes of the mitochondrial genome of I. trianguliceps, together with consideration of its morphology, justified to establish the new subgenus Filippoviella and include there I. trianguliceps together with aforementioned I. ghilarovi (Apanaskevich et al. 2024) both of which used to belong to the subgenus Exopalpiger. 从 I. trianguliceps 线粒体基因组 10 个蛋白编码基因的连接核苷酸序列推断出的系统发育树，以及对其形态的考虑，证明了建立新的亚属 Filippoviella 的合理性，并将 I. trianguliceps 与上述的 I. ghilarovi（Apanaskevich 等，2024）一起纳入其中，二者曾属于亚属 Exopalpiger。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes apronophorus has a wide distribution in the Northern Palearctic from the Atlantic coast to Eastern Siberia. Its geographical range generally coincides with the distribution of the water vole, its most frequent host, as both the tick and its common host prefer swampy and humid places for living, especially near water bodies. 生态学和其他信息。伊克索德斯·阿普罗诺福鲁斯在北极区的分布广泛，从大西洋沿岸到东西伯利亚。它的地理范围通常与水田鼠的分布相吻合，水田鼠是它最常见的宿主，因为蜱虫及其常见宿主都喜欢在沼泽和潮湿的地方生活，尤其是在水体附近。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes eldaricus is a little studied endophilic tick species which is mainly a parasite of ground-feeding birds although nymphs and larvae, besides birds, were also found on small mammals - rodents and shrews. It usually inhabits deciduous mountain forests and shrub thickets in mountain river valleys. The vertical distribution range of its occurrence varies from 300 (Ashgabat) to 1800 m (Terskey Ala-too Range and Hisar Range) a. s. I. (Filippova 1977). 生态学和其他信息。伊克索德斯·埃尔达里库斯是一种研究较少的内生性蜱虫，主要寄生于地面觅食的鸟类，尽管在小型哺乳动物（如啮齿动物和鼩鼱）身上也发现了幼虫和若虫。它通常栖息在山谷的落叶山林和灌木丛中。其分布的垂直范围从 300 米（阿什哈巴德）到 1800 米（特尔斯基阿拉图山脉和希萨尔山脉）不等（菲利波娃 1977 年）。
Briefly described by a female from the east of Georgia (type locality: the Shiraki Plain), I. eldaricus was later found in Armenia and Azerbaijan, and the male, nymph descriptions were based on the material from Azerbaijan (Ogandzhanyan 1959). The holotype female described from the grey partridge is stored at the Institute of Zoology of Ilia State University. The above findings from post-Soviet territories are known from the Crimea, as well as the Causasus and Central Asia. The majority of samples are stored at the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. 由来自乔治亚东部的女性简要描述的 I. eldaricus（类型产地：希拉基平原），后来在亚美尼亚和阿塞拜疆被发现，雄性和若虫的描述是基于来自阿塞拜疆的材料（Ogandzhanyan 1959）。描述自灰鹧鸪的模式雌性样本存放在伊利亚国立大学动物学研究所。上述来自后苏联地区的发现已知于克里米亚，以及高加索和中亚。大多数样本存放在俄罗斯科学院动物学研究所的收藏中。

Additionally, it is important to note that in Crimea this tick species is considered disappearing (Nebogatkin 1998) due to anthropogenic pressure followed by destruction of its habitats and decline in its host populations (Uspensky 2021). 此外，值得注意的是，在克里米亚，这种蜱虫物种被认为正在消失（Nebogatkin 1998），这是由于人类活动造成的压力，导致其栖息地的破坏和宿主种群的减少（Uspensky 2021）。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes kashmiricus is a tick species with a disjunctive relict range limited by the Tien Shan in Kyrgyzstan as well as India (Filippova 1977) and Pakistan (Numan et al. 2022). In Kyrgyzstan the tick was found mainly in the mid-altitude vertical zone of the mountains at the lower border of the forest at the altitude of 2000 and 2500 m a . s. I. Cases of parasitism on humans have been recorded (Hoogstraal 1970). 生态学和其他信息。克什米尔蜱是一种蜱虫，分布范围不连续，受限于吉尔吉斯斯坦的天山以及印度（Filippova 1977）和巴基斯坦（Numan et al. 2022）。在吉尔吉斯斯坦，这种蜱虫主要分布在中等海拔的山地垂直带，位于森林的下边界，海拔在 2000 和 2500 米之间。已记录到对人类的寄生案例（Hoogstraal 1970）。
Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear genes showed that I. kashmiricus belongs to the I. ricinus group (Kovalev et al. 2018) and clusters with such members of the I. ricinus group as I. apronophorus and I. kazakstani (Numan et al. 2022). 线粒体和核基因的系统发育分析表明，I. kashmiricus 属于 I. ricinus 组（Kovalev et al. 2018），并与 I. ricinus 组的成员如 I. apronophorus 和 I. kazakstani 聚类（Numan et al. 2022）。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes kazakstani is a tick species with a disjunctive relict range limited by Southeastern Kazakhstan and neighboring territories of Kyrgyzstan (Filippova 1977). The patchy arrangement of its range can be explained, above all, by associations of this tick mainly with the animals dwelling in tugai forests which also create humidity conditions in the soil suitable for this tick species (Filippova 1958b). Also, there are some cases of parasitism on livestock and humans (Lyashko 1973; Filippova 1977). On livestock it was found in few numbers among mass parasitism of other tick species. 生态学和其他信息。哈萨克斯坦伊克斯德斯是一种蜱虫，其分布范围不连续，限于哈萨克斯坦东南部及邻近的吉尔吉斯斯坦地区（Filippova 1977）。其分布范围的零散排列主要可以通过这种蜱虫与栖息在塔盖森林中的动物的关联来解释，这些动物也为这种蜱虫提供了适合的土壤湿度条件（Filippova 1958b）。此外，偶尔也有寄生于家畜和人类的案例（Lyashko 1973；Filippova 1977）。在家畜中，它的数量较少，主要出现在其他蜱虫种类的大规模寄生中。
Figure 9. Map of Russia and neighboring countries showing the locations where Ixodes kazakstani was reported. 图 9. 俄罗斯及邻国地图，显示报告了伊克斯德斯·哈萨克斯坦尼的地点。
Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear genes showed that I. kazakstani belongs to the I. ricinus group (Kovalev et al. 2018) and clusters with such members of the I. ricinus group as I. apronophorus and I. kashmiricus (Numan et al. 2022). Ixodes kazakstani can presumably exemplify links between Nearctic and Palearctic species, so further studies of genetic sequences of I. kazakstani are necessary to understand better evolutionary connections between more tick species in the I. ricinus group. 线粒体和核基因的系统发育分析表明，I. kazakstani 属于 I. ricinus 组（Kovalev 等，2018），并与 I. ricinus 组的成员如 I. apronophorus 和 I. kashmiricus 聚类（Numan 等，2022）。Ixodes kazakstani 可能代表了近北区和古北区物种之间的联系，因此有必要进一步研究 I. kazakstani 的基因序列，以更好地理解 I. ricinus 组中更多蜱类物种之间的进化联系。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes laguri is a tick species which is mainly a nidicolous parasite of rodents and small and medium carnivores, first of all ground squirrels. It is present usually in zonal and mountainous steppes at the altitude of 1500 m a.s.I. This tick species is less common in desert and semi-desert biotopes (Filippova 1977). 生态学和其他信息。拉古里蜱是一种主要寄生于啮齿动物和小型及中型食肉动物（首先是地松鼠）的巢居寄生虫。它通常出现在海拔 1500 米的带状和山区草原中。这种蜱在沙漠和半沙漠生境中较为少见（Filippova 1977）。
Filippova (1977) states that the tick has four subspecies - I. laguri laguri, I. I. armeniacus, I. I. colchicus and I. I. slovacicus. The differential characters of the female and the male of I. I. slovacicus are based on comparison with characters of the other subspecies in Pomerantsev (1950) but some of them, such as the genital aperture and chaetotaxy of the scutum and the hypostome and the coxa 1, are not characterized precisely enough (Filippova 1977). Filippova (1977) 指出，蜱虫有四个亚种 - I. laguri laguri, I. I. armeniacus, I. I. colchicus 和 I. I. slovacicus。I. I. slovacicus 的雌性和雄性的差异特征是基于与 Pomerantsev (1950) 中其他亚种特征的比较，但其中一些特征，如生殖孔和盾片、下颚和第一胫节的毛发分布，描述得不够准确（Filippova 1977）。
According to Filippova (1977), I. laguri laguri can be found in Moldova, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, as well as in the south of Russia; I. I. armeniacus is distributed in the Caucasus - North Osetia-Alania, Dagestan, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan; I. I. colchicus is known from the western spurs of the Greater Caucasus, the now abandoned rural locality Babuk-Aul; I. I. slovacicus was described from the south-east of Slovakia. 根据 Filippova（1977），I. laguri laguri 可以在摩尔多瓦、乌克兰、哈萨克斯坦以及俄罗斯南部找到；I. I. armeniacus 分布在高加索地区 - 北奥塞梯-阿兰尼亚、达吉斯坦、格鲁吉亚、亚美尼亚和阿塞拜疆；I. I. colchicus 已知来自大高加索的西部山脊，现在已废弃的乡村地点 Babuk-Aul；I. I. slovacicus 是从斯洛伐克东南部描述的。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes nipponensis is a tick species found in Russia in the south and south-west of the Primorsky Krai and also in the Korean peninsula and Japan (Filippova 1977). In Russia it was reported mainly from murine rodents, although in the Republic of Korea it was also observed on lizards (Kim et al. 2018) and cattle, goats, dogs, horses, and birds in Japan (Kitaoka and Saito 1967; Yamaguti et al. 1971). 生态学和其他信息。日本蜱是一种蜱虫，分布在俄罗斯的南部和西南部的滨海边疆区，以及朝鲜半岛和日本（Filippova 1977）。在俄罗斯，它主要在鼠类中被报告，尽管在韩国也观察到它在蜥蜴上（Kim et al. 2018），在日本则在牛、山羊、狗、马和鸟类上被发现（Kitaoka 和 Saito 1967；Yamaguti et al. 1971）。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes occultus is a tick species inhabiting deserts. It is mainly a nidicolous parasite of gerbils and jirds (subfamily Gerbillinae), first of all, the great gerbil, as well as of those small mammals which also use long and deep burrows of great gerbils as shelters (Filippova 1977). Some predators which have strong trophic relationships with gerbils and regularly contact with their colonies act as secondary hosts for this tick species. 生态学和其他信息。隐蜱是一种栖息在沙漠中的蜱虫。它主要是沙鼠和沙鼠亚科（Gerbillinae）中大沙鼠的巢寄生虫，以及那些也利用大沙鼠的长而深的洞穴作为庇护所的小型哺乳动物（Filippova 1977）。一些与沙鼠有强烈营养关系并定期接触其群落的捕食者作为这种蜱虫的次级宿主。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes pavlovskyi is a tick species distributed in Western Siberia, the Far East, Eastern Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan (Filippova 1977; Fedorova 2017), as well as in China (Guo et el. 2016) and Japan (Nakao et al. 1992; Guglielmone et al. 2023). It more often prefers birds as hosts, as well as small mammals although some cases of human and livestock infestation are also recorded. Its preferred habitats include usually coniferous and deciduous forests, undergrowth, as well as motley grass (Filippova 1977). 生态学和其他信息。帕夫洛夫斯基蜱是一种分布在西西伯利亚、远东、东哈萨克斯坦和吉尔吉斯斯坦的蜱种（Filippova 1977；Fedorova 2017），以及在中国（Guo et el. 2016）和日本（Nakao et al. 1992；Guglielmone et al. 2023）。它更常以鸟类为宿主，也会寄生于小型哺乳动物，尽管也记录了一些人类和家畜感染的案例。它的首选栖息地通常包括针叶林和阔叶林、灌木丛以及杂草（Filippova 1977）。
Often it can be found in the same biotopes together with I. persulcatus with complete coincidence of the seasons of activity of both species at each ontogenetic stage (Filippova 1999) and where their hybridization can also occur (Kovalev et al. 2015; Rar et al. 2019). 通常可以在与 I. persulcatus 相同的生境中找到这两种物种，在每个发育阶段的活动季节完全重合（Filippova 1999），并且它们的杂交也可能发生（Kovalev et al. 2015; Rar et al. 2019）。
In certain areas of Siberia I. pavlovskyi outnumbers I. persulcatus and also other tick species due to the high abundance of ground-feeding birds, especially in urban landscapes with habitats suitable for ticks like parks and cemeteries. So, for example, in the city of Tomsk in Western Siberia I. pavlovskyi dominates 在西西伯利亚的托木斯克市，I. pavlovskyi 的数量超过了 I. persulcatus 以及其他蜱虫种类，这主要是由于地面觅食鸟类的高丰度，尤其是在适合蜱虫栖息的城市景观中，如公园和墓地。因此，I. pavlovskyi 在该地区占主导地位。
everywhere in the city and its outskirts (Romanenko 2011). Probably eventually over time I. persulcatus was gradually replaced by I. pavlovskyi because it is too difficult for adult II. persulcatus to find its preferred hosts, namely mammals (Romanenko and Leonovich 2015). 城市及其郊区的每个地方（Romanenko 2011）。可能随着时间的推移，I. persulcatus 逐渐被 I. pavlovskyi 取代，因为成虫 II . persulcatus 很难找到其首选宿主，即哺乳动物（Romanenko 和 Leonovich 2015）。
Filippova and Panova (1998) recognize two subspecies in Russian populations of this tick, namely I. pavlovskyi pavlovskyi and I. pavlovskyi occidentalis which differentiation is based on morphological features between western and eastern specimens. Filippova 和 Panova（1998）在俄罗斯的这种蜱虫种群中识别出两个亚种，即 I. pavlovskyi pavlovskyi 和 I. pavlovskyi occidentalis，其区分是基于西部和东部标本之间的形态特征。
The type specimens of I. pavlovskyi are deposited at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and include I. pavlovskyi, Pomerantsev (Pomerantsev 1946: 11), the holotype: female; [Russia], DVK [Primorskii Terr.], Imanskii Forestry, hazel, 2.9.1932, type; AL I513. Description - Filippova 1977: 305-312 (female, male, nymph, larva); as well as I. pavlovskyi subsp. occidentalis (Filippova and Panova 1998: 396-411 - female, male, nymph, larva) the holotype: female; Russia, western foothills of Kuznetskii Ala Tau, basin of upper Tom River, environs of Mezhdurechensk, from vegetation, flagging, 24.5.1972, coll.

Recorded hosts. The spectrum of hosts of I. persulcatus is extremely broad both systematically and ecologically and includes more than 200 species of mammals and 100 species of birds (Shilova and Clabovskii 1968). Rarely it can parasitize reptiles - lizards of the family Lacertidae (Ravkin 1969). Literally almost all mammals and birds inhabiting various types of forests and their derivative biotopes can act as hosts for I. persulcatus. Larvae and nymphs parasitize more often small and medium-sized mammals, such as shrews, hedgehogs, rodents, and lagomorphs, as well as ground-feeding and ground-nesting birds. Adults usually feed on large and medium-sized mammals - ungulates, carnivores, lagomorphs. Humans and domestic animals can also be hosts for this tick species (Filippova 1977). 记录的宿主。I. persulcatus 的宿主谱系在系统学和生态学上都极为广泛，包括 200 多种哺乳动物和 100 种鸟类（Shilova 和 Clabovskii 1968）。它很少寄生于爬行动物——蜥蜴科（Lacertidae）的蜥蜴（Ravkin 1969）。几乎所有栖息在各种类型森林及其衍生生境中的哺乳动物和鸟类都可以作为 I. persulcatus 的宿主。幼虫和若虫更常寄生于小型和中型哺乳动物，如鼩鼱、刺猬、啮齿动物和兔形目动物，以及以地面觅食和筑巢的鸟类。成虫通常以大型和中型哺乳动物为食——偶蹄动物、食肉动物和兔形目动物。人类和家畜也可以成为这种蜱虫的宿主（Filippova 1977）。
Distribution in Russia and other post-Soviet countries (Fig. 14). The range of II. persulcatus, like no other Palearctic species, is extended in the latitudinal direction by a continuous strip, covering a significant part of the taiga forest zone in Eurasia between 21^(@)-66^(@)21^{\circ}-66^{\circ} latitude in the northern hemisphere from the Scandinavian Peninsula, the Baltic states, Belarus and Ukraine in the west where it is present sporadically to the east up to the Pacific coast including the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Sakhalin Island and further to the north-east of China, the Korean Peninsula and Japan (Filippova 1977; Wang et al. 2023). This tick belongs to the tick fauna of the next post-Soviet countries: Estonia, Latvia, 在俄罗斯和其他后苏联国家的分布（图 14）。 II . persulcatus 的分布范围与其他古北界物种不同，沿纬度方向延伸成一条连续带，覆盖了欧亚大陆上重要的泰加林区，范围从北半球的 21^(@)-66^(@)21^{\circ}-66^{\circ} 纬度开始，西起斯堪的纳维亚半岛、波罗的海国家、白俄罗斯和乌克兰，东至太平洋沿岸，包括堪察加半岛和萨哈林岛，进一步延伸至中国东北、朝鲜半岛和日本（Filippova 1977；Wang et al. 2023）。这种蜱虫属于下列后苏联国家的蜱虫群落：爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚，

Lithuania, Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan (Guglielmone et al. 2023). The presence of I. persulcatus in Ukraine outside the south-west border of the taiga was mentioned by Filippova (1977), although the possibility of permanent populations existing there was disputed by Nebogatkin (1993). Therefore, this probably exemplifies transportation by migratory birds. 立陶宛、白俄罗斯、俄罗斯、乌克兰、哈萨克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦（Guglielmone et al. 2023）。Filippova（1977）提到乌克兰在泰加林西南边界以外发现了 I. persulcatus，尽管 Nebogatkin（1993）对那里是否存在永久性种群提出了质疑。因此，这可能是迁徙鸟类运输的一个例证。
Ecology and other information. Ixodes persulcatus is an exophilic tick species widely distributed in the northern Palearctic along the forest zone. It may use almost all mammals and birds living in its biotopes; therefore, it is one of the most important vectors of a broad range of tick-borne pathogens. Since it can also transmit tick-borne encephalitis virus, together with I. ricinus it has the greatest medical and veterinary significance among other ticks of the genus Ixodes in the Palearctic. Another important fact is that I. persulcatus is a very aggressive species toward humans (Uspensky 1993) and, therefore, this species represents especially high medical-epidemiological risks. 生态学和其他信息。伊克德斯·佩尔苏尔卡图斯是一种外寄生蜱，广泛分布于北极区的森林带。它可能利用其生境中几乎所有的哺乳动物和鸟类；因此，它是广泛的蜱传播病原体的重要媒介之一。由于它还可以传播蜱传播的脑炎病毒，与 I. ricinus 一起，它在北极区的伊克德斯属蜱中具有最大的医学和兽医学意义。另一个重要的事实是，I. persulcatus 对人类非常具有攻击性（乌斯彭斯基 1993），因此，这种物种代表着特别高的医学流行病学风险。
The most significant part of the range of II. persulcatus stretches across the territory of Russia where we can observe the full spectrum of biotopes where I. persulcatus can be found. There are a lot of published works about its ecology in different regions which depend on the climatic region and biotic-abiotic conditions in it. II . persulcatus 的分布范围最显著的部分延伸至俄罗斯的领土，在那里我们可以观察到 I. persulcatus 可以找到的生物栖息地的全谱。关于其在不同地区生态的已发表作品很多，这些作品依赖于气候区域和其中的生物-非生物条件。
This tick prefers various types of forest and forest-steppe biotopes, especially taiga forests and their derivatives, i.e., mixed forests and bushes (both plain and mountainous), up to 2000 m a.s.l., like in the Tian Shan. In other words, it can inhabit any herbaceous forest and forest-steppe biotope with the level of humidity high enough for reproduction and supporting the life cycle, even in urban landscapes (Filippova 1977). In the Dzungarian Alatau there were some observations of occurring in steppe regions bordering forests and parasitizing the unusual host, namely the grey marmot Marmota baibacina Kastschenko (Bibikov et al. 1961). Permanent and stable populations of I. persulcatus exist in some areas adjacent 这种蜱虫喜欢各种类型的森林和森林-草原生境，特别是泰加林及其衍生物，即混合森林和灌木（平原和山区均可），海拔可达 2000 米，如天山地区。换句话说，它可以栖息在任何湿度足够高以支持繁殖和生命周期的草本森林和森林-草原生境中，甚至在城市景观中（Filippova 1977）。在准噶尔阿拉套，有一些观察到它出现在与森林相邻的草原地区，并寄生在一种不寻常的宿主上，即灰鼠（Marmota baibacina Kastschenko）（Bibikov et al. 1961）。在一些邻近地区，存在 I. persulcatus 的永久和稳定种群。
to cities within its range and even inside these cities on condition that the the suitable forest environment together with hosts, such as wild animals of different sizes and stray dogs are present. Examples of such cities are Saint Petersburg, Petrozavodsk, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Irkutsk, and Vladivostok (Uspensky 2017). 在其范围内的城市，甚至在这些城市内部，前提是适合的森林环境以及不同大小的野生动物和流浪狗等宿主存在。这样的城市包括圣彼得堡、彼得罗扎沃茨克、新西伯利亚、托木斯克、伊尔库茨克和符拉迪沃斯托克（乌斯宾斯基 2017）。
Several studies attest the changing boundaries of the ranges of I. persulcatus. It is assumed that ticks of the I. presulcatus group appeared and evolved in forest biotopes similar to modern relict forests of the Ussuri type and the taiga of the mountains of Southern Primorye, Southern Siberia, and the Korean Peninsula in the Pliocene. The wide ecological niche of I. persulcatus was formed during the formation of the species in the process of its adaptation to various landscape and climatic conditions. This allowed the species to gradually expand its range in the northwestern direction in the Holocene (Filippova 2017). An increase in air temperature by one or several degrees in a particular region near the boundaries of its range was probably the main driver of its expanding distribution. The fact of finding I. presulcatus populations in Sweden (Jaenson et al. 2016) and even in the Magadan Oblast in the north-east of Russia where it was absent before (Yamborko et al. 2015) are good examples of the distribution expansion in several directions and confirm the tendency which continues. 几项研究证明了 I. persulcatus 分布范围的变化。假设 I. presulcatus 组的蜱在与现代乌苏里类型的遗留森林和南滨海、南西伯利亚及朝鲜半岛的山地针叶林相似的森林生境中出现并进化。I. persulcatus 的广泛生态位是在物种形成过程中适应各种景观和气候条件时形成的。这使得该物种在全新世逐渐向西北方向扩展其分布范围（Filippova 2017）。在其分布范围边界附近某一地区气温上升一度或几度，可能是其分布扩展的主要驱动因素。在瑞典发现 I. presulcatus 种群的事实（Jaenson et al. 2016），甚至在俄罗斯东北部的马加丹州发现其之前不存在的种群（Yamborko et al. 2015），都是分布扩展向多个方向的良好例子，并证实了这一持续的趋势。
In Russia, high numbers of observations show noticeable changes in the distribution of II. persulcatus in certain regions. In Karelia the range expansion of II. persulcatus to the north is noted in relation to general climate warming (Bugmyrin et al. 2013). A similar observation was also recorded in the Komi Republic (Glushakova et al. 2011). The range expansion of this tick species in Arkhangelsk Oblast and Western and Central Siberia to the north is confirmed both by the results of their records and by the data on tick bites and morbidity in the human population, not only in places which were free from ticks before (Pogodina 2021). Besides that, there are some data about the range expansion of I. persulcatus to the north in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The reasons causing these changes are under evaluation but climate change, anthropogenic pressure in natural landscapes as well as the number of vertebrate animals are among the most influential factors. At the same time, it is also possible that inadvertent dispersal of ticks by timber material transported from tick-infested areas may be in part responsible for this phenomenon (Danchinova et al. 2006). Although other factors are not excluded, it is believed that climate changes have made the greatest contribution to the increase in areas primarily for TBE foci in the northern regions of the country. But despite all this, as a result of the same changes, the southwestern part of the range of I. persulcatus in Belarus and the Baltic countries has decreased (Pogodina 2021). 在俄罗斯，大量观察显示某些地区 II . persulcatus 的分布发生了显著变化。在卡累利阿， II . persulcatus 向北扩展的范围与整体气候变暖有关（Bugmyrin 等，2013 年）。在科米共和国也记录了类似的观察（Glushakova 等，2011 年）。在阿尔汉格尔斯克州以及西西伯利亚和中西伯利亚，这种蜱虫种类向北扩展的范围不仅通过它们的记录结果得到确认，还通过人群中的蜱虫叮咬和发病率的数据得到证实，尤其是在以前没有蜱虫的地方（Pogodina 2021 年）。此外，还有一些关于在萨哈共和国（雅库特）向北扩展 I. persulcatus 的范围的数据。这些变化的原因正在评估中，但气候变化、自然景观中的人类活动压力以及脊椎动物的数量是最有影响力的因素之一。同时，来自蜱虫感染区域运输的木材材料可能在一定程度上导致蜱虫的无意传播，这也可能是这一现象的部分原因（Danchinova 等，2006 年）。 尽管其他因素并未被排除，但人们认为气候变化对该国北部地区以 TBE 为主的区域增加贡献最大。但尽管如此，由于同样的变化，白俄罗斯和波罗的海国家 I. persulcatus 的分布范围西南部却有所减少（Pogodina 2021）。
Often it can be found in the same biotopes together with I. ricinus in Europe and I. pavlovskyi in Siberia with complete or partial coincidence of the seasonal activity of these species at each ontogenetic stage (Ushakova and Filippova 1968; Bolotin et al. 1977; Filippova 1999). In zones of sympatry their hybridization can occur, and their hybrids can also transmit tick-borne encephalitis virus and probably other pathogens (Kovalev et al. 2015; Rar et al. 2019; Belova et al. 2023). Under laboratory conditions, interspecific hybridization between I. ricinus and I. persulcatus was successfully conducted as well. F1 hybrid ticks were completely sterile, as revealed by unsuccessful attempts of their subsequent hybridization with ticks of the parent generation (Balashov et al. 1998). In I. persulcatus and I. ricinus, any morphological barrier to crossing is undoubdetly 常常可以在欧洲与 I. ricinus 以及在西伯利亚与 I. pavlovskyi 一起在相同的生境中找到，这些物种在每个发育阶段的季节活动完全或部分重叠（Ushakova 和 Filippova 1968；Bolotin 等人 1977；Filippova 1999）。在同域区，它们可以发生杂交，它们的杂交种也可以传播蜱传脑炎病毒以及其他病原体（Kovalev 等人 2015；Rar 等人 2019；Belova 等人 2023）。在实验室条件下，I. ricinus 和 I. persulcatus 之间的种间杂交也成功进行了。F1 杂交蜱完全不育，后续与亲本世代蜱的杂交尝试均未成功（Balashov 等人 1998）。在 I. persulcatus 和 I. ricinus 中，任何交配的形态障碍无疑是存在的。
absent and then sterility of the F1 hybrid generation is probably a quite significant factor limiting the population size of both species in their sympatric areas. Hybrid ticks also have morphological features allowing to differentiate them at preimaginal and imaginal stages (Bugmyrin et al. 2015, 2016). Moreover, some studies were conducted in the Southern Primorye (Filippova 2002) in sympatric zones of I. persulcatus and I. pavlovskyi occidentalis, due to the close cohabitation of both species. These showed that in case of these two species there are distinct morphological barriers which are manifested in the fitting of organs involved in mating, in particular their size proportions. According to the result of the studies, mating and hybridization of different tick species are possible only in the next combination: female I. pavlovskyi and male I. persulcatus. Whereas in case of the reverse combination, the parameters of the genital aperture of the female exceed those of the largest width of the hypostome in the male. 缺失以及 F1 杂交代的无菌性可能是限制这两种在其同域区域内种群规模的一个相当重要的因素。杂交蜱虫也具有形态特征，使其在前期和成虫阶段能够区分（Bugmyrin 等，2015，2016）。此外，由于这两种物种的密切共生，南部滨海地区（Filippova 2002）在 I. persulcatus 和 I. pavlovskyi occidentalis 的同域区域进行了某些研究。这些研究表明，在这两种物种的情况下，存在明显的形态障碍，这些障碍体现在参与交配的器官的适配上，特别是它们的大小比例。根据研究结果，不同蜱虫物种的交配和杂交仅在以下组合中是可能的：雌性 I. pavlovskyi 和雄性 I. persulcatus。而在反向组合的情况下，雌性的生殖孔参数超过雄性最大宽度的下颚。
There is an excellent summary on the questing behavior of II. persulcatus in the monograph by Filippova (1985). In brief, the ticks climb onto the vegetation in quest of a host. When the host approaches, the tick spreads its first pair of legs and, upon contact with the host, become attached. From time to time, ticks perform vertical migrations and go even into the soil litter for rehydration. Horizontal movements of ticks towards trails used by potential hosts are also possible, as well as crawling onto a nearby animal. Ticks react to humans by spreading their first legs from distances of ∼15-20m.Atshortdistances,ticks\mathbf{\sim 1 5 - 2 0 ~ m . ~ A t ~ s h o r t ~ d i s t a n c e s , ~ t i c k s ~} also react to a heat source. In general, a similar pattern of questing behavior is used by other exophilic ticks of the genus Ixodes. 在 Filippova（1985）的专著中，对 II . persulcatus 的觅食行为进行了出色的总结。简而言之，蜱虫爬上植物以寻找宿主。当宿主接近时，蜱虫张开第一对腿，并在与宿主接触时附着。蜱虫不时进行垂直迁移，甚至进入土壤层以补充水分。蜱虫向潜在宿主使用的路径进行水平移动也是可能的，此外还可能爬到附近的动物身上。蜱虫通过在 ∼15-20m.Atshortdistances,ticks\mathbf{\sim 1 5 - 2 0 ~ m . ~ A t ~ s h o r t ~ d i s t a n c e s , ~ t i c k s ~} 的距离处张开第一对腿来对人类作出反应，也会对热源作出反应。一般来说，其他外生性蜱虫属 Ixodes 的觅食行为模式也类似。
In I. persulcatus there is an important signaling mechanism causing a morphogenetic diapause - a developmental delay which is the response of ticks to the duration of the diurnal photoperiod (Belozerov 1976). Moreover, I. persulcatus has a behavioral diapause of non-engorged adult ticks, which is not connected with photoperiodic regulation (Korenberg et al. 2021). But as the studies in the Kirov Oblast and Udmurt Republic showed, in more warmer areas, an increased proportion of engorged larvae and nymphs develop without the diapause and the reason for this is the early activation and, as a result, their mass feeding on hosts in the first half of summer. The factors determining the diapause of engorged larvae and nymphs in the compared regions practically do not differ (Korotkov 2008). The correlation of the tick number varies, depending on the type of biotope, as well as temperature and humidity and also many other abiotic factors. For example, in boreal taiga forests of Karelia mainly I. persulcatus dominates (except the southwestern part where the mass species is I. ricinus) (Bugmyrin et al. 2013). The beginning of adult I. persulcatus activity also differs in different regions depending on the sum of abiotic factors listed above. For example, in the Far East the seasonal peak in the number of larvae is observed in the third decade of May - second decade of July, whereas in the European part of its range in the third decade of July (Belozerov 1976; Filippova 1977; Balashov 1998; Korenberg et al. 2013). In the territory from the Volga River to Primorye the average activity of adult ticks varies from 60 to 140 days (Korenberg et al. 1974). The boundaries of the range of the tick are determined mainly by the combination of photo- and hygrothermal factors. The general indicators of warmth and moisture along the range of this tick species vary widely. The fundamental ecological niche of I. persulcatus with the broad scope of its preferred conditions allows it to adapt to the wide diversity of biotopes in the forest zone. 在 I. persulcatus 中，有一个重要的信号机制导致形态发生的滞育——这是蜱对日间光周期持续时间的反应所造成的发展延迟（Belozerov 1976）。此外，I. persulcatus 还有一种非充血成虫的行为性滞育，这与光周期调节无关（Korenberg et al. 2021）。但是，正如基洛夫州和乌德穆尔特共和国的研究所示，在更温暖的地区，充血幼虫和若虫的比例增加，它们在没有滞育的情况下发育，其原因是早期激活，结果是在夏季上半年的大量寄主取食。比较地区中充血幼虫和若虫的滞育决定因素几乎没有差异（Korotkov 2008）。蜱的数量相关性因生境类型、温度和湿度以及许多其他非生物因素而异。例如，在卡累利阿的北方泰加森林中，主要以 I. persulcatus 为主（除了西南部，那里主要物种是 I. ricinus）（Bugmyrin et al. 2013）。成虫 I.的开始 伪沟蜱的活动在不同地区也因上述非生物因素的总和而有所不同。例如，在远东地区，幼虫数量的季节性高峰出现在 5 月的第三个十天和 7 月的第二个十天，而在其分布的欧洲部分则出现在 7 月的第三个十天（Belozerov 1976；Filippova 1977；Balashov 1998；Korenberg et al. 2013）。在从伏尔加河到滨海边疆区的地区，成虫蜱的平均活动天数从 60 天到 140 天不等（Korenberg et al. 1974）。蜱的分布边界主要由光热和湿热因素的组合决定。该蜱种的温暖和湿度的一般指标在其分布范围内变化很大。I. persulcatus 的基本生态位具有广泛的适宜条件，使其能够适应森林区内生境的多样性。
Some type specimens of I. persulcatus are deposited at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and include I. persulcatus subsp. diversipalpis (Schulze 1930: 300), lectotype: male; [Russia, Primorskii Terr.], lower Amur River, 8 km of Vyatskoe Vill., 26.VI.1910, coll. Soldatov, det. N.O. Olenev: I. ricinus ovatus; AL I266, as well as the paralectotypes: 1 female, 1 male; AL I266a. I. persulcatus (see: Filippova 1969: 677). Description - Filippova 1977: 316-327 (female, male, nymph, larva) (Filippova 2008). But Filippova (1969) also states that re-examination of the type material of the above subspecies demonstrated that the specimens used for describing differences of this subspecies are damaged in some morphologically important parts (not noticed before), and the key morphological characters that were previously thought to distinguish the subspecies are not specific enough and can be found in ticks throughout their entire geographical range. 一些 I. persulcatus 的类型标本被存放在俄罗斯科学院动物学研究所，包括 I. persulcatus subsp. diversipalpis（Schulze 1930: 300），模式标本：雄性；[俄罗斯，外东北地区]，下阿穆尔河，距维亚茨科村 8 公里，1910 年 6 月 26 日，采集者：索尔达托夫，鉴定者：N.O. 奥列涅夫：I. ricinus ovatus；AL I266，以及副模式标本：1 雌性，1 雄性；AL I266a。I. persulcatus（见：Filippova 1969: 677）。描述 - Filippova 1977: 316-327（雌性，雄性，若虫，幼虫）（Filippova 2008）。但 Filippova（1969）也指出，对上述亚种的类型材料的重新检查表明，用于描述该亚种差异的标本在某些形态学重要部分受损（之前未注意到），而之前认为区分该亚种的关键形态特征并不够特异，且可以在整个地理范围内的蜱虫中找到。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes redikorzevi is a tick species which is mainly a parasite of rodents, shrews, and small carnivores, as well as of dendrophilic ground-feeding birds and rarely reptiles (Filippova 1977). According to Tiflova (1974), this species is considered exophilic and can be found in significant numbers on dendrophilic birds. In the absence of mammalian and avian hosts, I. redikorzevi can parasitize lizards in significant numbers (Orlova et al. 2022). It usually inhabits mountain deciduous forests and steppes located nearby. 生态学和其他信息。红色伊克德斯是一种主要寄生于啮齿动物、鼩鼱和小型食肉动物的蜱虫种类，以及树栖的地面觅食鸟类，偶尔寄生于爬行动物（Filippova 1977）。根据 Tiflova（1974）的说法，这种物种被认为是外寄生的，通常在树栖鸟类上可以找到大量个体。在缺乏哺乳动物和鸟类宿主的情况下，I. redikorzevi 可以在数量上显著寄生于蜥蜴（Orlova et al. 2022）。它通常栖息在附近的山地落叶林和草原中。
Beyond the post-Soviet territories considered above, the range of this tick covers also Eastern Europe, Turkey, Israel, as well as Afghanistan (Filippova 1977) and China (Yin et al. 2010). 除了上述的后苏联地区，这种蜱虫的分布范围还包括东欧、土耳其、以色列，以及阿富汗（Filippova 1977）和中国（Yin et al. 2010）。
At the current moment it is still questionable whether I. redikorzevi is a synonym of I. acuminatus or not. Kolonin (2009) considers this species a synonym of I. acuminatus, but Guglielmone et al. (2010) regard it as provisionally valid. As it was fairly noted by Guglielmone et al. (2014) this question can be solved by comparison of the type specimens of both species. Moreover, Pomerantsev (1950) described by females two subspecies: I. redikorzevi redikorzevi and I. redikorzevi emberizae. Later the other subspecies I. redikorzevi theodori was described although Filippova comments (1977) that the authors had quite little material during descriptions but the differences in size and shape of some characters are visible and it is necessary to compare more specimens from more locations of its large area of distribution. 目前尚不清楚 I. redikorzevi 是否是 I. acuminatus 的同义词。Kolonin（2009）认为该物种是 I. acuminatus 的同义词，但 Guglielmone 等（2010）认为它是暂时有效的。正如 Guglielmone 等（2014）所指出的，这个问题可以通过比较两种物种的类型标本来解决。此外，Pomerantsev（1950）根据雌性描述了两个亚种：I. redikorzevi redikorzevi 和 I. redikorzevi emberizae。后来描述了另一个亚种 I. redikorzevi theodori，尽管 Filippova（1977）评论说，作者在描述时材料相对较少，但某些特征的大小和形状差异是明显的，有必要比较来自其广泛分布区域更多地点的更多标本。
Ixodes redikorzevi redikorzevi occurs in Ukraine, the Transcaucasus and Tajikistan according to Pomerantsev (1950); and I. redikorzevi emberizae can be found in Lankaran and the Hisar Range in Tajikistan. Later the other subspecies, I. redikorzevi theodori was described from the Middle East (Warburton 1927). 根据 Pomerantsev（1950），Ixodes redikorzevi redikorzevi 分布在乌克兰、外高加索和塔吉克斯坦；而 I. redikorzevi emberizae 可以在塔吉克斯坦的兰卡兰和希萨尔山脉找到。后来，另一亚种 I. redikorzevi theodori 在中东被描述（Warburton 1927）。
The type specimens of I. redikorzevi are deposited at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and include the holotype: female; [former] Tavricheskaya Province (Crimea), Yaman-Kala, near Baidar, 25.10.1924, coll. V. Shnitnikov, AL I338 and the paralectotype of I. redikorzevi emberizae female; AL I522. Description - Pomerantsev 1950: 63 (female; male unknown); Filippova 1977: nymph, larva (Filippova 2008). I. redikorzevi 的类型标本存放在俄罗斯科学院动物学研究所，包括模式标本：雌性；[前] 塔夫里切斯卡亚省（克里米亚），亚曼卡拉，靠近拜达尔，1924 年 10 月 25 日，采集者 V. Shnitnikov，AL I338，以及 I. redikorzevi emberizae 的副模式标本雌性；AL I522。描述 - Pomerantsev 1950: 63（雌性；雄性未知）；Filippova 1977: 若虫，幼虫（Filippova 2008）。
Recorded hosts. The host spectrum of I. ricinus is extremely broad both systematically and ecologically, including literally almost all mammals and birds of its geographical range, rarely even reptiles inhabiting the same biotopes with the tick. The fact of mass parasitism of immature stages on lizards of the Lacertidae family, in particular species of the genus Darevskia in the Caucasus (Kidov et al. 2013; Orlova et al. 2022) in habitats where they outnumber small mammals probably brightly demonstrates that I. ricinus is a generalist tick capable to use almost any available terrestrial vertebrates as hosts. Overall, the list of hosts consists of more than 300 species of mammals, birds and reptiles which have been recorded (Gern et al. 2002). Humans and domestic animals can also be hosts for the tick (Filippova 1977). 记录的宿主。I. ricinus 的宿主谱在系统和生态上都极为广泛，包括其地理范围内几乎所有的哺乳动物和鸟类，甚至很少有与蜱虫栖息在同一生境中的爬行动物。未成熟阶段在蜥蜴（Lacertidae 家族）上的大规模寄生现象，特别是在高加索地区的 Darevskia 属物种（Kidov et al. 2013; Orlova et al. 2022），在它们数量超过小型哺乳动物的栖息地中，可能鲜明地表明 I. ricinus 是一种通用蜱，能够利用几乎所有可用的陆生脊椎动物作为宿主。总体而言，宿主名单包括记录的 300 多种哺乳动物、鸟类和爬行动物（Gern et al. 2002）。人类和家畜也可以是蜱虫的宿主（Filippova 1977）。
Distribution (Fig. 16). The distribution of I. ricinus in Russia includes almost the whole territory of its European part excluding subpolar tundra areas (see the map) (Filippova 1977; Kahl and Gray 2023) and due to climate changes, the distribution of this tick species becomes wider (Gray et al. 2009; Yasyukevich et al. 2009). Ixodes ricinus is part of the tick fauna of the following post-Soviet countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan (Guglielmone et al. 2023). In Kazakhstan a little number of specimens were found in the northern part of West Kazakhstan Oblast (Maikanov 2012). In Turkmenistan the tick was also recorded in few numbers in the western foothills of the Kopet-Dag (Kerbabaev 1960) which probably could be transported there by migratory birds. 分布（图 16）。I. ricinus 在俄罗斯的分布几乎涵盖了其欧洲部分的整个领土，排除了亚极地苔原地区（见地图）（Filippova 1977；Kahl 和 Gray 2023），并且由于气候变化，这种蜱的分布范围变得更广（Gray 等，2009；Yasyukevich 等，2009）。Ixodes ricinus 是以下后苏联国家蜱类动物群的一部分：爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、白俄罗斯、俄罗斯、乌克兰、摩尔多瓦、格鲁吉亚、阿塞拜疆、亚美尼亚、土库曼斯坦和哈萨克斯坦（Guglielmone 等，2023）。在哈萨克斯坦，少量标本在西哈萨克斯坦州的北部被发现（Maikanov 2012）。在土库曼斯坦，该蜱在科佩特-达格西部山脚也被记录到少量（Kerbabaev 1960），这可能是通过候鸟运输到那里的。
Ecology and other information. Ixodes ricinus is an exophilic tick species widely distributed in Europe, mostly inhabiting deciduous and mixed forest zones in both plain and mountainous areas, as well as forest-steppes bordering them. It also occurs in city parks and gardens (Gray 1998). In addition, it can be found in North Africa (Arthur 1965). In Ukraine I. ricinus colonized and reached 生态学和其他信息。伊克斯德斯·里基努斯是一种广泛分布于欧洲的外寄生蜱种，主要栖息在平原和山区的落叶林和混交林区域，以及与之相邻的森林草原。它也出现在城市公园和花园中（Gray 1998）。此外，它还可以在北非找到（Arthur 1965）。在乌克兰，I. ricinus 已经定殖并达到

a high abundance in artificial forest plantations of the Askania-Nova Nature Reserve surrounded from all sides by steppes for a period of less than 80 years (Emchuk 1972). In urban areas with conditions able to support tick populations, for example, Minsk or Kyiv, I. ricinus usually dominates among other tick species, especially among members of the genus Ixodes (Uspensky 2017). This tick species uses almost all forest vertebrate animals as hosts and, together with I. persulcatus, it is one of the most important vectors of a broad spectrum of tick-borne pathogens, first of all, tick-borne encephalitis virus (Filippova 1977). 在阿斯卡尼亚-诺瓦自然保护区的人工森林种植园中，周围被草原环绕，存在高丰度，时间不到 80 年（Emchuk 1972）。在能够支持蜱虫种群的城市地区，例如明斯克或基辅，I. ricinus 通常在其他蜱虫种类中占主导地位，尤其是在伊克索德斯属的成员中（Uspensky 2017）。这种蜱虫几乎以所有森林脊椎动物为宿主，并且与 I. persulcatus 一起，是广谱蜱虫传播病原体的重要媒介，首先是蜱虫传播的脑炎病毒（Filippova 1977）。
Often it can be found in the same biotope with I. persulcatus, often exhibiting complete or partial coincidence of seasonal activity at each ontogenetic stage (Filippova 1999). In zones of sympatry their hybridization can occur, and although hybrid offspring are incapable of reproduction (Bugmyrin et al. 2015), they can still transmit tick-borne encephalitis virus and probably other pathogens (Kovalev et al. 2016; Belova et al. 2023). The absence of any morphological barrier for copulation was discovered in geographical points of probably the secondary sympatric zone (Filippova 2002) of I. persulcatus and I. ricinus in the north-west of the East European Plain (Balashov et al. 1998). However, in some areas of this sympatric zone, for example, in southern Kare- 常常可以在与 I. persulcatus 相同的生境中找到，通常在每个发育阶段的季节活动上完全或部分重合（Filippova 1999）。在同域区，它们可以发生杂交，尽管杂交后代无法繁殖（Bugmyrin et al. 2015），但它们仍然可以传播蜱传脑炎病毒和其他病原体（Kovalev et al. 2016；Belova et al. 2023）。在 I. persulcatus 和 I. ricinus 的可能次级同域区的地理点中发现没有任何形态障碍阻碍交配（Filippova 2002），该区域位于东欧平原的西北部（Balashov et al. 1998）。然而，在这个同域区的某些地区，例如南喀尔巴阡地区，
lia, its slight shrinking has recently been noted due to the withdrawal of II. ricinus from territories where it used to live (Bespyatova and Bugmyrin 2021). lia，最近由于 II 的撤回，其轻微收缩已被注意到。ricinus 从它曾经生活的地区撤回（Bespyatova 和 Bugmyrin 2021）。
Due to the high epidemiological significance and wide distribution of I. ricinus and its regular contacts with humans and domestic animals, its biology and life cycle were more extensively studied than in case of any other species of its genus inhabiting the same territories. As a species, I. ricinus probably appeared approximately 8-12 thousand years ago when deciduous and mixed forests formed in the southeast of Europe and the Mediterranean, as well as in the northern and northeastern slopes of the Greater Caucasus, when current environmental conditions of these territories have begun to shape. And the climate there was also milder than in Siberian taiga forests where I. persulcatus evolved (Filippova 2017). 由于 I. ricinus 的高流行病学重要性和广泛分布，以及它与人类和家畜的定期接触，其生物学和生命周期的研究比同一地区其他物种更为广泛。作为一个物种，I. ricinus 大约在 8000 到 12000 年前出现，当时欧洲东南部和地中海地区以及大高加索的北部和东北坡形成了落叶和混交林，而这些地区的当前环境条件也开始形成。那里的气候也比西伯利亚泰加林的气候温和，I. persulcatus 在那演化而来（Filippova 2017）。
It was revealed that in a certain region the duration of tick activity period and the number of adult ticks depend on spring and summer temperatures and air humidity (Korotkov et al. 2015; Korenberg et al. 2021). Females and larvae usually attach to hosts when the air near the soil warms up from +2 to +30^(@)C+30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, and in the case of nymphs from +2 to +22^(@)C+22^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. The relative humidity of the surrounding air has to be higher than 60%60 \% for an extended period of time (Sirotkin and Korenberg 2018). It is absolutely important for ticks to receive the necessary amount of warmth to complete their metamorphosis at each stage within a strictly defined period of time (Korenberg et al. 2013). As a consequence, the seasonal activity of all stages of II. ricinus is more extended than in the case of I. persulcatus, and engorged ticks begin oviposition or metamorphosis without strict dependance on the photoperiod. Therefore, in the southern range of distribution (the Mediterranean, Central Europe, the Caucasus) ticks initiate activity in the end of March - the beginning of April (Korenberg et al. 2021), whereas in Eastern European regions - in April (Medvedev et al. 2016; Korenberg et al. 2021). Ixodes ricinus also uses a diapause as a biological mechanism, although due to warmer conditions in the majority of its distribution range, no more than 10-20% of ticks at each stage undergo such an interruption of development (Korenberg and Kovalevsky 1977; Korenberg et al. 2016). 据透露，在某个地区，蜱虫活动期的持续时间和成虫数量依赖于春季和夏季的温度和空气湿度（Korotkov et al. 2015; Korenberg et al. 2021）。雌性和幼虫通常在土壤附近的空气温度从 +2 升高到 +30^(@)C+30^{\circ} \mathrm{C} 时附着在宿主上，而若虫则在 +2 升高到 +22^(@)C+22^{\circ} \mathrm{C} 时附着。周围空气的相对湿度必须在较长时间内高于 60%60 \% （Sirotkin 和 Korenberg 2018）。蜱虫在每个阶段完成变态所需的温暖量在严格规定的时间内是绝对重要的（Korenberg et al. 2013）。因此，所有阶段的 II . ricinus 的季节性活动比 I. persulcatus 更加延长，充血的蜱虫开始产卵或变态而不严格依赖于光周期。因此，在分布的南部范围（地中海、中欧、外高加索），蜱虫在三月底至四月初开始活动（Korenberg et al. 2021），而在东欧地区则在四月开始（Medvedev et al. 2016; Korenberg et al. 2021）。 Ixodes ricinus 也使用休眠作为一种生物机制，尽管由于其分布范围内大多数地区的气温较高，每个阶段的蜱虫中只有 10-20%经历这种发育中断 (Korenberg 和 Kovalevsky 1977; Korenberg 等 2016)。

and along the main ridges of the Sikhote-Alin it inhabits a wide range of biotopes: various types of mixed and broad-leaved forests in mountains and valleys, as well as tundra and rocks, stone outcrops, coastal biotopes, meadow and river valleys (Speranskaya 1958; Violovich 1958; Emelyanova and Koshkin 1962; Belyaev 1963; Paramonov et al. 1966; Savitsky and Okuntsova 1967; Belyaev and Filippova 1976). 在西霍特-阿林的主要山脊上，它栖息在广泛的生物群落中：山脉和山谷中的各种类型的混合和阔叶林，以及苔原和岩石、石头裸露、沿海生物群落、草地和河谷（斯佩兰斯卡娅 1958；维奥洛维奇 1958；耶梅利亚诺娃和科什金 1962；别利亚耶夫 1963；帕拉莫诺夫等 1966；萨维茨基和奥库茨科娃 1967；别利亚耶夫和菲利波娃 1976）。
Ixodes angustus is considered a nidicolous ectoparasite of rodents and shrews because it was found not only on hosts but also in their burrows (Filippova 1977), although there are documented cases on this species biting humans without contacts with burrows (Cooley 1946). As a parasite which is connected with rodents, and, like other rodent ticks, I. angustus plays a role in supporting natural foci of tick-borne infections such as anaplasmosis (Yamborko and Eremeeva 2014) and the Lyme disease (Peavey et al. 2000). Ixodes angustus 被认为是啮齿动物和鼩鼱的巢居外寄生虫，因为它不仅在宿主身上被发现，还在它们的洞穴中被发现（Filippova 1977），尽管有记录表明该物种在没有接触洞穴的情况下也会咬人（Cooley 1946）。作为一种与啮齿动物相关的寄生虫，I. angustus 与其他啮齿动物蜱虫一样，在支持自然蜱传染病的病灶中发挥作用，例如无形体病（Yamborko 和 Eremeeva 2014）和莱姆病（Peavey 等，2000）。
Although hyperparasitism is not common in Ixodes ticks, I. angustus belongs to a small number of species of the genus, in which this phenomenon was recorded (Durden et al. 2018), when a male was feeding from a female attached to a red squirrel Tamiasciurus hudsonicus. The other Ixodes species in which males have been recorded to attach and feed on engorging conspecific females include I. holocyclus in Australia and I. pilosus in South Africa (Oliver et al. 1986). 尽管在伊克斯德斯蜱中超寄生现象并不常见，但 I. angustus 属于该属中少数记录到这种现象的物种之一（Durden et al. 2018），当时一只雄性正在从附着在红松鼠 Tamiasciurus hudsonicus 上的雌性身上取食。其他记录到雄性附着并取食充血同种雌性的伊克斯德斯物种包括澳大利亚的 I. holocyclus 和南非的 I. pilosus（Oliver et al. 1986）。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes pomerantzevi is a relict species occurring on the East Asian coast (Filippova 1977) and in Russia its distribution is limited to a few locations in Outer Manchuria (a.k.a. Primorsky Krai) in the Russian Far East (Tsapko 2020). It is also known to occur in Korea (Kim et al. 2009a, 2010, 2011) and China (Guo et al. 2016). Predominantly it can be found in coniferous and broad-leaf forests, or secondary forests and bush thickets, as well as rock and stone outcrops among trees in the Sikhote-Alin and on the coast of the Sea of Japan (Belyaev and Filippova 1976). 生态学和其他信息。伊克索德斯·波梅兰采维是一种遗存物种，分布在东亚沿海（Filippova 1977），在俄罗斯，其分布仅限于外满洲（即滨海边疆区）的一些地点（Tsapko 2020）。它也被发现于韩国（Kim et al. 2009a, 2010, 2011）和中国（Guo et al. 2016）。主要可以在针叶林和阔叶林、次生林和灌木丛中找到，以及在西霍特阿林的树木间和日本海沿岸的岩石和石头裸露处（Belyaev and Filippova 1976）。
Luh and Woo (1950) supposed that I. pomerantzevi is possibly a synonym of Ixodes angustus; Filippova (1977) considered it as valid and in the last list of valid tick species names, it is also considered valid (Guglielmone et al. 2020). Luh 和 Woo（1950）假设 I. pomerantzevi 可能是 Ixodes angustus 的同义词；Filippova（1977）认为它是有效的，在最新的有效蜱种名称列表中，它也被认为是有效的（Guglielmone 等，2020）。
Ixodes pomerantzevi is a nidicolous tick species, an ectoparasite of rodents, hedgehogs, and shrews (Filippova 1977). Ixodes pomerantzevi 是一种寄生在巢中的蜱虫，寄生于啮齿动物、刺猬和鼩鼱（Filippova 1977）。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes arboricola is an endophilic parasite, mainly of birds from ecological groups nesting in tree holes and nest boxes and also even in ground burrows (Filippova 1977). Also, certain cases of this species infesting bats in tree holes have been recorded (Arthur 1963). 生态学和其他信息。Ixodes arboricola 是一种内生寄生虫，主要寄生于栖息在树洞和鸟巢箱中的鸟类生态群体，甚至在地面洞穴中也有发现（Filippova 1977）。此外，还记录了该物种在树洞中寄生于蝙蝠的某些案例（Arthur 1963）。
The interesting feature of its distribution is the disjunctivity, which is confirmed by the discovery of this species in the areas quite distant from each other - western and central Europe, North Africa, Transcaucasia, western Asia, and the Far East in Russia (Estrada-Peña et al. 2018) and China (Chen et al. 2010). 其分布的一个有趣特征是离散性，这一点通过在相距较远的地区发现该物种得到了证实——西欧和中欧、北非、外高加索、西亚以及俄罗斯的远东（Estrada-Peña et al. 2018）和中国（Chen et al. 2010）。

Note. Tick names are used sensu Guglielmone et al. (2014) in this review. Thus, this species is not synonymous with I. canisuga Johnston as suggested by Filippova (1977) based on their morphological similarities and because the latter is not known to occur in Russia. Ixodes crenulatus was erroneously synonymized with I. kaiseri Arthur (Sonenshine et al. 1969), as clarified later (Filippova and Uspenskaya 1973). 注意。此评论中使用的蜱名称是根据 Guglielmone 等人（2014）的定义。因此，该物种与 I. canisuga Johnston 并不等同，正如 Filippova（1977）所建议的那样，基于它们的形态相似性，并且后者在俄罗斯并不被认为存在。Ixodes crenulatus 错误地与 I. kaiseri Arthur（Sonenshine 等人 1969）同义，后来得到了澄清（Filippova 和 Uspenskaya 1973）。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes crenulatus is among the tick species that have the most extensive ranges comparing to other representatives of its family within Russia (Tsapko 2020). 生态学和其他信息。Ixodes crenulatus 是在俄罗斯与其家族其他代表相比，分布范围最广的蜱虫种类之一（Tsapko 2020）。
It is a typical nidicolous parasite of mammals and in the Asian part of its range as the main hosts it uses species of marmots of the genus Marmota (with a predominance of gray marmot) and such representatives of predatory mammals as badgers, steppe polecats, red and corsac foxes. The composition of the main host spectrum from different orders (rodents and predatory mammals) finds an explanation in close connections of topical and trophic relationships of marmots and predators. All of them have burrows of medium diameter, complex design, with a nesting chamber, remote from the entrance, which 它是哺乳动物的一种典型的巢居寄生虫，在其分布的亚洲部分，主要宿主是鼠兔属（以灰鼠兔为主）和一些掠食性哺乳动物，如獾、草原鼬、红狐和科尔萨克狐。来自不同目（啮齿动物和掠食性哺乳动物）的主要宿主谱的组成可以通过鼠兔和掠食者之间的密切关系以及生态和营养关系来解释。它们都有中等直径、复杂设计的洞穴，里面有一个远离入口的巢室，
provides the stability of the microclimate, where ticks find suitable conditions. The above species of carnivores often use the burrows of their prey, marmots, and small carnivores, facilitating the exchange of ticks not only between individual burrows, but also between remote host settlements (Filippova 2011). 提供了微气候的稳定性，蜱虫在这里找到了适宜的条件。上述食肉动物种类通常利用它们猎物的洞穴，如土拨鼠和小型食肉动物，促进了蜱虫不仅在单个洞穴之间的交换，还在远程宿主栖息地之间的交换（Filippova 2011）。
This tick species is considered rare, for example, only few findings were mentioned in the Astrakhan Oblast (Zimina et al. 1965; Zimina et al. 1996) and Saratov Oblast (Denisov 2019). In most of the recognized range, I. crenulatus coexists with the closely related I. kaiseri. These species not only inhabit the same territory and the same biotopes but can also parasitize one host individual at the same time (Tsapko 2017). Therefore, it is necessary to consider that accurate identification of these species is required and there is always a chance of their misidentification. 这种蜱虫物种被认为是稀有的，例如，在阿斯特拉罕州（Zimina et al. 1965; Zimina et al. 1996）和萨拉托夫州（Denisov 2019）仅提到过少数发现。在大多数已知的分布范围内，I. crenulatus 与密切相关的 I. kaiseri 共存。这些物种不仅栖息在同一地区和相同的生境中，还可以同时寄生于同一个宿主个体（Tsapko 2017）。因此，有必要考虑到准确识别这些物种是必需的，并且总是存在误识别的可能性。
According to some suggestions (Emelyanova 1979), I. crenulatus is probably a species group, or at least has remarkable intraspecific variations involving morphotypes (Filippova and Panova 2000). 根据一些建议（Emelyanova 1979），I. crenulatus 可能是一个物种组，或者至少具有显著的种内变异，涉及形态类型（Filippova 和 Panova 2000）。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes hexagonus is a typical nidicolous parasite of carnivores and hedgehogs. It has certain morphological similarities to I. crenulatus and I. kaiseri and has common sympatric zones with this species along its range (Filippova 1999). Ukraine is the only country of the former Soviet Union, on the territory of which this European species is present in the tick fauna (Filippova 1977). In general I. hexagonus was detected quite rarely in Ukraine, and almost always in the west of Ukraine and mainly from hedgehogs (Kolonin 2009). Akimov and Nebogatkin (2016) assumed that it can be found in the vicinity of Kyiv, and eventually it was confirmed by Levytska et al. (2021). Rare occasional human bites have been recorded (Rosický and Weiser 1952; Arthur 1963; Bursali et al. 2012). 生态学和其他信息。六角蜱是一种典型的寄生于食肉动物和刺猬的巢寄生虫。它与 I. crenulatus 和 I. kaiseri 在形态上有一定的相似性，并且在其分布范围内与该物种有共同的共生区（Filippova 1999）。乌克兰是前苏联唯一一个有这种欧洲物种存在于蜱类动物群中的国家（Filippova 1977）。一般来说，I. hexagonus 在乌克兰的发现相对较少，几乎总是在乌克兰西部，主要来自刺猬（Kolonin 2009）。阿基莫夫和涅博戈金（2016）假设它可能在基辅附近被发现，最终被列维茨卡等人（2021）证实。偶尔记录到人类被咬的情况（Rosický和 Weiser 1952；Arthur 1963；Bursali 等人 2012）。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes kaiseri is a typical nidicolous parasite of carnivores and also hedgehogs and porcupines which is morphologically very similar to II. crenulatus and has common sympatric zones with this species along its range (Filippova 1999). Its range itself is patchy and disjunctive areas of sympatry for both of these species are found in southeastern Europe - Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, including the Crimean Peninsula as well as in Russia - the southwestern extremities of the Central Russian Upland and the Northern Caucasus; then after a long gap - in Western Kazakhstan and again after a big gap - in the Dzungarian Alatau (Filippova 1999). Judging by literature, it is also known from Egypt and Israel (Arthur 1957, 1960, 1965). As Filippova and Uspenskaya (1973) assumed, its distribution in the Middle East and also other parts of Asia can be wider than it is known at present, which was already confirmed by the findings of this tick species in Turkey (Orkun and Karaer 2018) and Xinjiang in China (Zhao et al. 2019) near the border with Kazakhstan and the Dzungarian Alatau and hence, it is possible that the sympatry of these two species is more widespread. This is also supported by literature data, because until the 1970s in the territory of the former USSR I. kaiseri was not differentiated from I. hexagonus and I. crenulatus (Emelyanova 1979; Filippova 1999). 生态学和其他信息。伊克索德斯·凯瑟里是一种典型的寄生于食肉动物的巢居寄生虫，也寄生于刺猬和豪猪，在形态上与 II . crenulatus 非常相似，并且在其分布范围内与该物种有共同的同域区域（Filippova 1999）。它的分布范围本身是零散的，这两种物种的同域区域分布在东南欧 - 罗马尼亚、摩尔多瓦、乌克兰，包括克里米亚半岛，以及在俄罗斯 - 中俄高原的西南边缘和北高加索；然后在一个长时间的间隔后 - 在哈萨克斯坦西部，再次在一个较大的间隔后 - 在准噶尔阿拉套（Filippova 1999）。根据文献，它也在埃及和以色列被发现（Arthur 1957, 1960, 1965）。正如 Filippova 和 Uspenskaya（1973）所假设的，它在中东和亚洲其他地区的分布可能比目前已知的更广泛，这已经通过在土耳其（Orkun 和 Karaer 2018）和中国新疆（Zhao 等，2019）发现这种蜱虫的证据得到了确认，后者靠近哈萨克斯坦和准噶尔阿拉套的边界，因此，这两种物种的同域分布可能更为广泛。 这也得到了文献数据的支持，因为直到 1970 年代，在前苏联的领土上，I. kaiseri 并没有与 I. hexagonus 和 I. crenulatus 区分开来（Emelyanova 1979；Filippova 1999）。
These species not only inhabit the same territory and inhabit the same biotopes in some places but can also parasitize one host individual at the same time (Tsapko 2017). It is also important to note that according to Filippova’s 这些物种不仅栖息在相同的领土上，并且在某些地方栖息在相同的生境中，还可以同时寄生于同一个宿主个体（Tsapko 2017）。还需要注意的是，根据 Filippova 的
opinion (1999), the territorial signs of the ranges of these two species, their biotope and host-parasite relationships indicate that the range of II. crenulatus (which is predominantly connected with marmots and their burrows in steppe and forest-steppe zones) over the most part of its distribution has a Central Asian origin, while the range of II. kaiseri (mainly the parasite of carnivores and occurring in their burrows) is supposedly of European origin. 意见（1999），这两种物种的分布范围、栖息地和寄主-寄生关系表明， II . crenulatus（主要与旱獺及其在草原和森林草原区域的洞穴相关）在其大部分分布区的起源为中亚，而 II . kaiseri（主要是食肉动物的寄生虫，出现在它们的洞穴中）的起源则被认为是欧洲的。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes lividus is a specific nidicolous ectoparasite of the sand martin, Riparia riparia. Also, it has been collected from birds and house mice which occasionally could visit sand martin’s nests such as house sparrows and common house martins. 生态学和其他信息。Ixodes lividus 是一种特定的沙燕寄生虫，寄生于沙燕（Riparia riparia）。此外，它还曾从偶尔访问沙燕巢穴的鸟类和家鼠中收集到，例如家麻雀和普通家燕。
Due to the wide distribution of its main host, this tick species also occurs in a vast geographical range and can be characterized by having a trans-Palearctic distribution. The locations of findings in Russia and the neighboring countries listed above reflect the general pattern of its distribution on a map so we can suppose that this tick can be found in the north of the Palearctic almost everywhere in habitats of the sand martin. 由于其主要宿主的广泛分布，这种蜱虫物种也出现在广阔的地理范围内，并且可以被描述为具有跨古北界的分布。上述俄罗斯及邻国的发现地点反映了其分布在地图上的一般模式，因此我们可以推测这种蜱虫几乎可以在古北界北部的沙燕栖息地中找到。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes prokopjevi is an extremely poorly studied tick species initially described based on the male holotype from steppes of north-eastern Mongolia; its paratypes, larvae and nymphs, are noted as originating from the outskirts of the lake Baruun Shavart Nuur in Eastern Mongolia, as well as females and nymphs from the south-eastern Transbaikal without any indications of certain points of findings (Emelyanova 1979). 生态学和其他信息。Ixodes prokopjevi 是一种极少研究的蜱虫种类，最初是基于来自蒙古东北部草原的雄性模式标本进行描述的；其副标本、幼虫和若虫被记录为来自蒙古东部的巴鲁恩沙瓦特湖边缘，以及来自东南部外贝加尔的雌性和若虫，但没有任何特定发现地点的指示（Emelyanova 1979）。
Kolonin (2009) states that this species should be considered a synonym of I. crenulatus but Guglielmone et al. (2010,2014)(2010,2014) recognize it as a valid species. Kolonin (2009) 指出该物种应被视为 I. crenulatus 的同义词，但 Guglielmone 等人 (2010,2014)(2010,2014) 认为它是一个有效物种。
The Daurian hedgehog was recorded as a host, but we can assume that carnivores, lagomorphs, and rodents are also hosts of this tick species, as in case of II. crenulatus, another representative of the subgenus Pholeoixodes and the most similar species to this tick. The distribution area and ecology of I. prokopjevi, as well host-parasite relationships and their role in transmission of vec-tor-borne infections remain unknown. 达乌尔刺猬被记录为一种宿主，但我们可以假设食肉动物、兔形目动物和啮齿动物也是这种蜱虫的宿主，就像 II . crenulatus 一样，它是亚属 Pholeoixodes 的另一个代表，也是与这种蜱虫最相似的物种。I. prokopjevi 的分布区域和生态，以及宿主-寄生虫关系及其在传播媒介传播感染中的作用仍然未知。

There is one report about a finding of this tick on the Bering Island belonging to the Commander Islands in the Bering Sea, a female and three larvae collected 26 August 1990 from a snow bunting and deposited at the collection of the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University (Voltsyt 1997). The author states that the date of the tick collection indicates the presence of a permanent population of this species on the island because in the end of August birds usually already are prepared for the autumn migration after the breeding period, and, therefore, ticks could not have been transported there from the continent. Hence, we could assume that probably the real distribution of this tick is much wider and includes mountainous areas not only in a warmer and temperate climate but also in cooler tundra and other climatically similar landscapes. The snow bunting as a host of this species also was registered for the first time. Overall, its hosts include birds nesting usually in rocks and feeding on the ground and during the flight (Filippova 1977). 有一份报告提到在白令海的指挥官群岛上发现了这种蜱，1990 年 8 月 26 日从一只雪雀身上收集到一只雌性蜱和三只幼虫，并存放在莫斯科国立大学动物博物馆的收藏中（Voltsyt 1997）。作者指出，蜱的收集日期表明该岛上存在这种物种的常驻种群，因为在八月底，鸟类通常已经为繁殖期后的秋季迁徙做好准备，因此，蜱不可能是从大陆运输到那里的。因此，我们可以假设这种蜱的实际分布可能更广泛，包括不仅在温暖和温带气候下的山区，还包括在较冷的苔原和其他气候相似的景观中。作为这种物种宿主的雪雀也首次被记录。总体而言，它的宿主包括通常在岩石中筑巢并在地面和飞行中觅食的鸟类（Filippova 1977）。

Ecology and other information. Ixodes frontalis is an exophilic tick species parasitizing primarily dendrophilic birds (Filippova 1977). It is relatively widely distributed throughout Europe, Western Asia, as well as North Africa (Filippova 1977; Estrada-Peña et al. 2018). Ixodes frontalis is rare in most of its range. However, the place of mass reproduction of this species was discovered in Dagestan near the Sulak River in a big colony of rooks (Gusev and Guseva 1960). Under the nests in the rookery, a high, uncountable number of larvae of these ticks was observed. Often there were up to 5,000 individuals per m² (Tsapko 2023). 生态学和其他信息。前额蜱是一种主要寄生于树栖鸟类的外寄生蜱种（Filippova 1977）。它在欧洲、西亚以及北非的分布相对广泛（Filippova 1977；Estrada-Peña 等，2018）。前额蜱在其大部分分布范围内较为稀少。然而，在达吉斯坦的苏拉克河附近发现了该物种的大规模繁殖地，那里有一个大型的乌鸦群落（Gusev 和 Guseva 1960）。在乌鸦巢下，观察到大量无法计数的蜱幼虫。每平方米常常有多达 5000 只个体（Tsapko 2023）。
Single collections of I. frontalis from mammals are known as exceptions. In Europe, adults were found on representatives of the mustelid family (Guglielmone et al. 2014). In the Shaki District of Azerbaijan (2 km north of the village of Şirinbulaq, 31 Oct 1956), two nymphs were taken from two Libyan jird Meriones libycus (collections of R.B. Kosminsky and R.S. Karandina) (Tsapko and Kotti 2017). In addition, certain cases of attachments to humans are known (Gilot et al. 1997). 单一的前额虫的收集在哺乳动物中被认为是例外。在欧洲，成年人在鼬科的代表身上被发现（Guglielmone et al. 2014）。在阿塞拜疆的沙基区（距离Şirinbulaq 村 2 公里，1956 年 10 月 31 日），从两只利比亚沙鼠 Meriones libycus 中采集到了两个若虫（R.B. Kosminsky 和 R.S. Karandina 的收藏）（Tsapko 和 Kotti 2017）。此外，已知某些与人类的附着案例（Gilot et al. 1997）。

Ixodes turdus is a bird-associated tick species that can be found usually in East Asia, especially in Nepal, Korea, and Japan (Takahashi and Chunikhin 1972; Clifford et al. 1975; Ishiguro et al. 2000; Kim et al. 2009b; Sato et al. 2021). The single case of finding I. turdus in the Far East of Russia is considered a result of transportation (Bolotin and Kolonin 1979). Some occasions of parasitism on humans (Woo et al. 1990; Kadosaka and Hasegawa 1996), as well as on wild boars (Chae et al. 2017) are also recorded. 生态学和其他信息。Ixodes turdus 是一种与鸟类相关的蜱虫，通常可以在东亚找到，特别是在尼泊尔、韩国和日本（Takahashi 和 Chunikhin 1972；Clifford 等人 1975；Ishiguro 等人 2000；Kim 等人 2009b；Sato 等人 2021）。在俄罗斯远东发现 I. turdus 的单一案例被认为是运输的结果（Bolotin 和 Kolonin 1979）。还记录了一些对人类（Woo 等人 1990；Kadosaka 和 Hasegawa 1996）以及野猪（Chae 等人 2017）的寄生现象。
Discussion 讨论
The territory of Russia and other post-Soviet countries reviewed here occupies a significant part of the Palearctic and its Ixodes tick fauna comprises in total approximately 37 species belonging to ten subgenera (Table 1). Some of these species are endemic. A significant ratio of these Ixodes species have a broad distribution area, as exemplified by I. ricinus, I. persulcatus, I. trianguliceps, I. apronophorus, I. crenulatus, I. kaiseri, I. laguri, I. redikorzevi, I. eldaricus, I. frontalis, and I. lividus. Moreover, the geographical range of some of these species also continues further to the west (into Europe) and to the south and east (to other parts of Asia). 俄罗斯及其他后苏联国家的领土占据了古北界的一个重要部分，其伊克德斯蜱的动物群总共有大约 37 个物种，属于十个亚属（表 1）。其中一些物种是特有种。这些伊克德斯物种中有相当一部分具有广泛的分布区域，例如 I. ricinus、I. persulcatus、I. trianguliceps、I. apronophorus、I. crenulatus、I. kaiseri、I. laguri、I. redikorzevi、I. eldaricus、I. frontalis 和 I. lividus。此外，这些物种的地理分布范围还延伸到西部（进入欧洲）以及南部和东部（到亚洲其他地区）。
Tick species like I. ricinus and I. persulcatus are able to live in a broad range of forest and forest-steppe biotopes and parasitize literally any vertebrate hosts among mammals, birds, and in some cases reptiles available in their habitats. Further species listed above parasitize species of those ecological groups of higher vertebrates which are widely distributed within the limits of the reviewed territories and even outside of them (like shrews, rodents, carnivores, and passerines), so this could explain the wide distribution of these species together 蜱虫种类如 I. ricinus 和 I. persulcatus 能够在广泛的森林和森林草原生境中生存，并寄生于其栖息地中几乎所有的脊椎动物宿主，包括哺乳动物、鸟类以及在某些情况下的爬行动物。上述进一步列出的物种寄生于那些在审查区域内及其外部广泛分布的高等脊椎动物的生态群体（如鼩鼱、啮齿动物、食肉动物和雀形目鸟类），这可以解释这些物种的广泛分布。
with the presence of suitable hosts and biotopes. On the other hand, five tick species - I. stromi, I. semenovi, I. signatus, I. uriae, I. occultus - have more limited distribution areas, occurring only in certain habitats where they are specialized to parasitize an ecologically restricted range of hosts. There are at least five tick species (I. angustus, I. pomerantzevi, I. nipponensis, I. kashmiricus, I. redikorzevi) which have geographical ranges extending far beyond post-Soviet territories, and these also occur in neighboring and more distant countries sharing a similar fauna. The distribution areas of six further species (I. berlesei, I. caledonicus, I. arboricola, I. subterraneus, I. simplex, I. vespertilionis) cannot be defined more precisely, due to the limited number of their findings in locations distantly separated from each other. It is important to note here that these ticks are nidicolous parasites of birds and bats, therefore can be transported by their hosts to new habitats in other locations during migration, although it is not necessary that they will establish and form sustainable populations there. The distribution area of the tick I. pavlovskyi is also disjunct and populated by two different subspecies. Finally, there are four tick species known exclusively from the reviewed territories and certain locations by a very few records and their real distribution areas and biology are poorly studied, namely I. cornutus, I. ghilarovi, I. maslovi, and I. prokopjevi. 适合宿主和生境的存在。另一方面，五种蜱虫 - I. stromi, I. semenovi, I. signatus, I. uriae, I. occultus - 的分布区域更为有限，仅在某些特定栖息地出现，这些栖息地专门寄生于生态范围受限的宿主。至少有五种蜱虫（I. angustus, I. pomerantzevi, I. nipponensis, I. kashmiricus, I. redikorzevi）的地理分布范围远远超出后苏联地区，它们也出现在邻近和更远的国家，这些国家共享类似的动物群。六种其他物种（I. berlesei, I. caledonicus, I. arboricola, I. subterraneus, I. simplex, I. vespertilionis）的分布区域无法更精确地定义，因为它们在相互远离的地点的发现数量有限。值得注意的是，这些蜱虫是鸟类和蝙蝠的巢寄生虫，因此可以在迁徙过程中被宿主运输到其他地点的新栖息地，尽管并不一定会在那建立和形成可持续的种群。蜱虫 I.的分布区域 pavlovskyi 也是不连续的，且由两种不同的亚种组成。最后，有四种蜱虫仅在所审查的地区和某些地点通过极少的记录被知晓，它们的真实分布区域和生物学研究得很少，分别是 I. cornutus、I. ghilarovi、I. maslovi 和 I. prokopjevi。
It is still questionable whether or not II. brunneus and II. turdus are indigenous in the examined geographical area. There have been no confirmations of stable populations of these two species in the locations where both species were found on migratory birds; both are known from these territories by single specimens outside their main distribution areas. Therefore, we suspect that these two tick species do not belong to the tick fauna of Russia and post-Soviet territories. 仍然存在争议， II . brunneus 和 II . turdus 是否是所研究地理区域的本土物种。在发现这两种物种的候鸟的地点，没有确认这两种物种的稳定种群；这两种物种在其主要分布区以外的这些地区仅通过单个标本被知晓。因此，我们怀疑这两种蜱虫不属于俄罗斯及后苏联地区的蜱虫群落。
Among the reviewed Ixodes species, from the point of view of host preferences, there are both generalists and specialists. Rodents of the families Mu-\mathrm{Mu}- ridae and Cricetidae, as well as passerine birds, harbor the highest number of Ixodes species in the reviewed territories (Table 2). All these groups live almost everywhere in a great variety of biotopes, often in significant numbers, therefore playing an important role in diverse ecosystems and also having epidemiological significance as reservoirs of multiple tick-borne pathogens. Among the ticks in this review, 15 species parasitize murine rodents and 14 passerine birds (Table 2). Shrews (family Soricidae) also include a relatively high number of species which are ubiquitous and serve as typical hosts for certain Ixodes species, predominantly from the subgenera Filippoviella and Ixodiopsis. 在所审查的蜱属物种中，从宿主偏好的角度来看，既有广泛寄生的物种，也有专一寄生的物种。来自 Mu-\mathrm{Mu}- 科和仓鼠科的啮齿动物，以及雀形目鸟类，在所审查的地区中寄生了最多的蜱属物种（表 2）。所有这些群体几乎生活在各种生境中，数量往往很大，因此在多样化的生态系统中发挥着重要作用，并且作为多种蜱传播病原体的宿主具有流行病学意义。在本次审查的蜱中，有 15 个物种寄生于鼠类啮齿动物和 14 个雀形目鸟类（表 2）。鼩鼱（鼩鼱科）也包括相对较多的物种，这些物种无处不在，并且是某些蜱属物种的典型宿主，主要来自 Filippoviella 和 Ixodiopsis 亚属。
In general, 18 Ixodes species are typically parasites of mammals from various taxonomic and ecological groups, 12 species prefer birds as hosts. Altogether, six species are generalists and therefore can parasitize virtually any available warm-blooded host species. All these species belong to the subgenus Ixodes. Ticks from other subgenera can attach to and feed from atypical hosts occasionally. Specific parasites of reptiles among lxodes species are not known to occur in the reviewed territories, but some of the generalist species can parasitize these hosts, especially in the absence of their preferred ones. Sometimes even mass parasitism of Ixodes species can be observed on reptiles, as in the case of I. redikorzevi. Last, we can note that hosts of I. maslovi are still unknown, and the exact host range of I. cornutus, I. ghilarovi, I. prokopjevi, and I. sachalinensis also remains to be clarified. 一般来说，18 种伊克德斯（Ixodes）物种通常是来自不同分类和生态群体的哺乳动物的寄生虫，12 种物种更喜欢鸟类作为宿主。总共有六种物种是广泛寄生的，因此几乎可以寄生于任何可用的温血宿主物种。所有这些物种都属于伊克德斯亚属（subgenus Ixodes）。来自其他亚属的蜱虫偶尔可以附着并从非典型宿主身上取食。在审查的地区，已知的伊克德斯物种中没有特定的爬行动物寄生虫，但一些广泛寄生的物种可以寄生于这些宿主，特别是在缺乏其首选宿主的情况下。有时甚至可以观察到伊克德斯物种在爬行动物上的大规模寄生现象，例如在 I. redikorzevi 的案例中。最后，我们可以注意到 I. maslovi 的宿主仍然未知，而 I. cornutus、I. ghilarovi、I. prokopjevi 和 I. sachalinensis 的确切宿主范围也有待澄清。
