Abstract
The susceptibility of the taiga tick Ixodes persulcatus Schulze to 15 pyrethroids has been evaluated. The knockdown time after exposure of t icks to pyrethroids tested was quite similar. It was revealed that the lethal doses of type I pyrethroids (permethrin-like) induced the rapi d attachment of ticks to host. In contrast, the fatal poisoning with t ype 11 pyrethroids (alpha-CN-pyrethroids) made the ticks unable to att ach completely. Possible mechanisms of the acceleration and the preven tion of attachment are discussed.
