Keywords: Ixodes persulcatus, natural focus, tick-borne encephalitis.
Current condition of natural foci of tick-borne encephalitis is described in connection with global climate change and anthropogenic transformation of landscapes at the northwestern limit of Ixodes persulcatus (Schulze, 1930) range – in the mid-taiga subzone of Republic of Karelia. The foci are becoming more active due to growing abundance of the tick and increasing proportion of virus-bearing individuals.
