title: [Histopathological changes in the skin of small mammals in the area of feeding of Ixodes trianguliceps, I. Persulcatus i I. Ricinus (Ixodidae) ticks].
abstract: Histopathological changes in the places of attachment and feeding of the Ixodes trianguliceps, I. persulcatus, and I. ricinus on natural hosts are similar. They pass through the stages of skin inflammation: perforation, exudation and proliferation. The mouthparts of tick contact with the host tissues. The fibrin deposit and callogen capsule surround the mouthparts. These species of ticks do not form the cement. Formation of the feeding cavity is caused by the salivation of ticks and neutrophil infiltration into surrounding tissues. Unnatural hosts (mice, rabbits) do not form the callogen capsule in the places of feeding, the callogen fibres are disposed irregular. Mast cells accumulate in the tick attachment site in the skin of natural host and degranulate in response to the tick salivary antigens releasing the histamine. Mediators involve cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions.
