    Reported is the event of detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Ixodes angustus ticks using gene-diagnostic technique. Anaplasma DNA is identified in one of the nine samples of ixodic tick imago collected from common species of rodents in the suburbs of Magadan. The data obtained may be indicative of the existence of natural granulocytic anaplasmosis focus in the south of the Magadan Region where the agent persists in enzootic cycle: small mammals - Ixodes angustus

    Localization of larvae, nymphs and imago of Ixodes angustus on cattle body is studied. Ticks I. angustus mostly attach to the front part of the host’s body to feed. The preimaginal stages ticks usually are localized on conches, and adult species – on head, neck and shoulder blades. The self-purification ability of the host can be considered as a leading factor influencing the distribution of ticks. The choice of sitesfor attachmentof larvae and nymphs is probably determined by particular characteristics of host’s skin and hair coat.Клещи Ixodes angustus прикрепляются для питания на хозяине, преимущественно на передней части туловища. Преимагинальные стадии клещей обычно локализуются на ушных раковинах, а взрослые особи – на голове, шее и спине в области лопаток. Ведущим фактором, обусловливающим распределение клещей, можно считать способность хозяина к самоочищению. Выбор мест прикрепления личинками и нимфами, вероятно, обусловлен также и особенностями кожного и волосяного покровов хозяина. Материалом для работы служили иксодовые клещи I. angustus, собранные с мелких млекопитающих в окрестностях г. Магадана (северное побережье Тауйской губы Охотского моря) в июне–сентябре 2012–2013 гг. Для отлова животных использовали ловушки Геро и конусы, заполненные водой
