The main dataset comprises the results of years of research on the distribution of ixodid ticks in Karelia. Information is presented about the findings of Ixodes persulcatus and I. ricinus – the main vectors of dangerous tick-borne diseases, in Russian Karelia and adjacent Finnish territories (Provinces of North Karelia and Kainuu). Sampling of questing ticks was done by flagging from vegetation in the period from 2007 to 2018. Each line in the table represents an individual transect, for which time of sampling, coordinates, presence/absence of ticks is specified. If both tick species were encountered on the same transect, info is provided in two lines, one for each species. Details on the number of ticks collected, number of flag-km covered, and the results of sampling from domestic animals and humans will be added later. This dataset is a constituent part of the database “Ixodid ticks of Karelia”, registered on April 8, 2010, # 2010620234 (proprietor IB KarRC RAS), and has been previously used to prepare articles on the distribution and abundances of ticks in Karelia and adjacent Finnish territories (Bugmyrin et al., 2011; 2013; 2014; 2016; 2019).Sampling Description
Study Extent
The dataset includes tick registrations in South and Central Karelia (2007-2018), in Finland (Provinces of North Karelia and Kainuu, 2008-2009) and Arkhangelsk Region (2007-06-11). Overall, 945 transects were sampled.Sampling
Adult questing ticks were collected by flagging (0.7 m × 1.1 m) from vegetation.Method steps
- 1. The coordinates of the tick survey transects’ beginning and end were recorded using GPS navigator. 2. Adults and nymphs of ticks were collected by flagging (a 0.7×1.1 m square piece of white honeycomb cotton cloth). 3. The ticks were kept in moist bandage wrapped in foil or plastic bags and stored at +4°C until identification (Kislenko and Korotkov, 1989). 4. The transect and the number of ticks collected (males, females, and nymphs) were documented in a log. 5. Counts were standardized as the total number of ticks per flag-kilometer (flag-km). 6. Taxonomic identification of live ticks and tick specimens stored in 70% ethanol was done under a binocular microscope (16×) following the recommendations of Dr. Filippova (1977) 7. Ticks were used in the following studies (morphology, genetics, infections, experiments, laboratory colonies, etc.); some ticks were stored in 70% ethanol. 8. All information is integrated into MS Access.
