Ixodiasis

Ixodiasis is any disease that occurs after a tick bite.

Ticks are carriers of many dangerous infections, such as tick-borne encephalitis, Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, babesiosis and others. When a tick bites, its saliva enters the person's bloodstream, which can lead to infection with one or more of the diseases carried by these parasites.

Symptoms of ixodiasis depend on the specific infection. This may include fever, headache, rash, facial paralysis, joint and muscle pain. Without timely treatment, the development of chronic forms of diseases, damage to the nervous system, heart, and joints is possible.

Prevention of ixodiasis involves protecting yourself from tick bites when visiting forests and parks, using repellents, and thoroughly examining your body and clothing after returning home. If you find an attached tick, you should remove it as quickly as possible and consult a doctor. Vaccination also helps prevent some forms of ixodiasis, such as tick-borne encephalitis.

Ixodiases are any human disease that develops after infection with the blood of a tick, such as Ixodes Persulcatus or Rhipicephalus sanguineus. These are parasitic individuals that live on the bodies of small rodents such as mice, voles, marmots and others, but can also be found on large animals if they are eaten by infected rodents. The life cycle of ixodid ticks includes four phases: larva, nymph, adult and adult. Through the mouth of an infected tick, part of the parasite’s body enters the blood of the bitten person, which multiplies and

Ixodiasis is any vector-borne disease of humans and animals, the causative agent of which is the ixodes tick (Ixodes). An important diagnostic sign is infection with ixodid ticks, of which clinically significant human diseases are caused only by Ixodes scapularis - in the USA, Canada and a number of other countries, and by I. ricinus and I. persulcatus, but which are not widespread at present. Although I. scapularis also causes diseases in other hosts, such as sheep and cattle, they are usually accompanied by a less severe course and do not cause focal diseases. Diseases caused by other members of the family Ixodidae are referred to as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Tick ​​larvae live in soil and natural shelters. Some species disperse through the air over long distances due to lack of food. Contact, which usually develops after being on the site or contact with another animal (contact is transmitted either through the skin and areas where larvae may be present), leads to the migration of larvae along the vascular pathways of infected animals. While in the internal environment of the host, the head capsule of the larvae ruptures and they begin to feed on red blood cells. Migration and absorption of larvae and re

Ixodiasis is a group of diseases caused by X (mite) and accompanied by dermatitis or infection. The main route of transmission of ixodid borreliosis pathogens for any method of infection is transmissible (by a tick bite). The isolated bacterium (Borrelia burgdoferi) thanks to the arthropod is introduced into the skin along with anesthetic substances of the salivary glands. Having penetrated the body during tick suction and with strong immunity, the body’s defenses can suppress the infection. However, being in an environment favorable for the development of microorganisms in the human body, borrelia quickly multiply causing local inflammation and the formation of a primary affect. Most often, the affect looks like an inflammatory change in the skin on which the mite parasitizes. Blood flow, providing infectious bacteria with the opportunity to disseminate from primary affects throughout the human body, infecting other human systems and organs. Borreliosis is characterized by the appearance of symmetrical ring-shaped erythema, which is accompanied by a sensation of itching. Treatment is aimed at suppressing borrellosis, combating intoxication and secondary manifestations of the disease. The basis of treatment is etiotropic antibiotic therapy. Typically, broad-spectrum antibiotics are prescribed to relieve the clinical picture and destroy borreliosis infection: tetracycline, doxycycline. Etanercept is prescribed as first-line therapy. To reduce itching - antihistamines. Small doses of aspirin are used to correct heart damage.
