[The exploratory activity of the Borrelia-infected taiga tick Ixodes persulcatus].
The infection with Borrelia burgdorferi s. l. increases the questing activity of adults and nymphs of the taiga tick Ixodes persulcatus. High temperature inhibits the moving and questing activities of the infected ticks in a greater extent than that in the non-infected ones. Than more borreliae per a specimen of tick are present, the more tick's activity is affected.
