Abstract

Abstract. The article considers domestic and foreign experience in the spread of Ixodes ticks – vectors of dangerous transmissible infections and invasions in the park areas of Ukraine and preventive measures against Ixodidosis of animals and humans. The material for the study was the data of veterinary reporting obtained from the state regional laboratories of the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection for 2018–2019. The research was conducted at the Department of Parasitology and Tropical Veterinary Medicine of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. Ixodes ticks, previously collected in the park zone of Kyiv, were used for research. The results of the study of Ixodes ticks for the presence of pathogens of dangerous transmissible infections and invasions, as well as the treatment of dogs with Ixodidoses; prospects for further research are the search for effective acaricidal drugs, taking into account their toxicity.

Key words: Ixodes ticks, spread, risks, transmissible diseases, Ixodidoses of animals.
