the Siberian scientists have discovered among the mites that live in Novosibirsk, a hybrid of the two species of mites. And this new mite is not only able to live in habitats of both parental types, but transfer all the diseases that both parental species together. Among them such dangerous viruses such as tick-borne encephalitis, the different types of Borrelia, rickettsiae, Herlihy, ooplasm, as well as of Babesia that affect dogs. In other words, such people tick in addition to tick-borne encephalitis virus can be infected by several species of Rickettsia and Borelli, warns the journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences “Science of Siberia”.

Crossed — most likely, in one animal of taiga tick and tick Pavlovsky. Scientists suggest that this did not happen without human intervention — during tick processing parks has changed the boundaries of the habitats of the two species and populations. The resulting hybrid can produce offspring. Perhaps now it will spread in the taiga zone.

In Akademgorodok most of these mites in the Upper area in the region of the Central Siberian Botanical garden SB RAS and the surrounding territory from the river Shadriha.
