title: [Preliminary studies of the occurrence of Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) in the areas of the Cracow-Czestochowa highland at various stages of human industrial activities].
abstract: In the years 1987-88 the density of the population of I. ricinus on the territory of Kraków-Czestochowa Highland including the Ojców National Park was studied. The method of collection of ticks from 100 m2 fields was applied. On the spite of similar ecological conditions there was marked variation in the population density of I. ricinus. It decreased from East to West, where territories are under the strong pressure of the Upper Silesia and Olkusz industry.
