title: [The attraction of taiga ticks by the smell of the host's fur in nature].
abstract: In the "Zhigulevsky" preserve, 46 coarse calico napkins impregnated with 1 ml of an attractant, were placed alternatively as controls and experimental along the road with the interval of 5 meters. The attractant was a methanol wash-off of the hair of a mongrel dog. During 8 hour exposure the experimental napkins were attacked by 20% males and 12.5% females of active ticks living by the road (after the third experiment a complete catch of ticks was carried out). The tick distribution indirectly indicates that the attractant causes a increase of tick horizontal migrations up to 5 meters around the source of odour. The results obtained allow one to suggest a promising granulated attractive and acaricidal agent.
