Abstract

In 2007, 2009, and 2014, the first cases of people seeking medical advice on the occasion of tick bites were recorded in Magadan Province. The possible ways of migration of Ixodes persulcatus into Magadan Province, where the species was not previously known, and the factors responsible for ticks’ attacks on humans in the recent years are discussed.
