Abstract
During the 1997 season of Ixodes persulcatus Schulze tick activity, 579 specimens were collected by flagging in the vicinity of St. Petersburg (Morskaja, Lisy Nos). Collections were made from April to July, and at each collection time the following measurements were recorded: light intensity (in lux); temperature of soil 1-1.5 cm below leaf litter, at the soil surface, and in the air 1.5 m above the soil surface; and relative humidity. The gradient between soil at a depth of 1-1.5 cm and soil surface temperatures appeared to be the main physical parameter that initiated tick migration out of the leaf litter. At soil temperature intervals of 5-10 degrees C and 21-26 degrees C, ticks were found only when the soil temperature 1-1.5 cm below the soil surface was colder than at its surface. When temperature ranged from 11 to 20 degrees C, 24% of the ticks were collected when the surface temperature was colder than that below the soil surface. Sixty percent of the ticks, especially nymphs, were collected when the soil surface and subsoil temperature difference ranged from 0 to 2.0 degrees C. The gradient between soil temperature and relative humidity appeared to increase the importance of the gradient between the soil and surface tem...Continue Reading
