title: [Distribution and control of acari as vectors of human disease in urban population of Moscow].
abstract: Human ectoparasites, such as itch mites and the follicular mites Demodex brevis and D. folliculorum are notified on the territory of Moscow. The bird and rodent mites Ornythonyssus bacoti and the larvae of harvest mites may attack human beings indoors. The ticks Ixodes ricinus and I. persulcatus begin to inhabit the tree belts and environs of Moscow and other cities and towns. In the cities and towns of more southern regions of the Russian Federation, the red hen-mites Dermanyssus gallinae are also encountered and the ticks Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Ornithodoros papillipes begin to inhabit urban structures. A differential system of their controlling measures is proposed in relation to the habitats of mites and ticks on the urban territories and the results of use of a number of currently available disinfectants are presented.
