Abstract

The distribution and dynamics of natural-mediated zoonosis (Lyme disease) in the Carpathian region have been studied and measures for its prevention have been developed. It is established that the vectors of Lyme disease are Ixodes mites. The disease is transmitted transmissible through the adhesion of Ixodes mites to the human body. In mites, transovarian (through eggs) and transphase (through larvae and nymphs) transmission of pathogens.

The data obtained indicate that the incidence of Lyme disease in mountainous populations is high. The trend in the incidence of the population is growing from year to year, in particular in Kosiv, Verkhovyna and Rakhiv districts. The disease mainly affects people of active age, more often representatives of professional risk groups (foresters, berry and mushroom pickers, shepherds, hunters, etc.)
