Isozyme structure of the Ixodes persulcatus Schulze (Acari: Ixodidae) tick populations in the Baikal Region

We have studied 13 enzyme systems encoded by 15 loci of the I. persulcatus tick populations from two suburban areas of the city of Irkutsk. We have identified a high intrapopulation heterogeneity and insignificant differences between the two populations. This indicates a high rate of gene migration.
