[The tick Ornithodoros papillipes count in Namangan and Andizhan Provinces and its determining factors].

Analysis of the abundance of the tick O. papillipes in the Namangan and Andizhan districts was conducted on vast material. According to the tick abundance (from very high to very low) settlements were arranged into five groups. Most common are settlements with a high and average tick abundance. In most cases the agent of TRF was isolated from the ticks. Natural and anthropogenic factors determining the abundance rate of ticks in some settlements and possibilities of their practical use for the quick annihilation of TRF nidi are discussed.
