[Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis in the Udmurt republic: retrospective analysis of their spread].
The primary clinical-anamnestic and laboratory data on 1,062 cases, registered in Udmurtia in 1965-1968 and caused by the bites of taiga ticks (ixodes persulcatus), were retrospectively analyzed. The study revealed that not less than 27% of these cases could be regarded as cases of Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB); formerly they were classified with tick-born encephalitis (TBE) or diseases of unclear etiology. The spread of ITBB on the territory of the Udmurt Republic was shown to be similar to that of TBE.
