Abstract
Localization of larvae, nymphs and imago of Ixodes angustus on cattle body is studied. Ticks I. angustus mostly attach to the front part of the host’s body to feed. The preimaginal stages ticks usually are localized on conches, and adult species – on head, neck and shoulder blades. The self-purification ability of the host can be considered as a leading factor influencing the distribution of ticks. The choice of sites for attachment of larvae and nymphs is probably determined by particular characteristics of host’s skin and hair coat.
Keywords: Ixodes angustus, localization, red-backed mice.
