Background:The natural environment of southeastern Armenia, which includes the Syunik and Vayots Dzor regions, provides a high biodiversity of flora and fauna, including ectoparasites. Currently, the fauna and ecology of gamasid ticks and their role in the circulation of tularemia in this area are unclear and incomplete. To better understand the persistence of tularemia in Armenia, an assessment of specific hosts and their vectors is needed to evaluate their role in perpetuating tularemia.Materials and Methods:Utilizing data and samples collected from 1970 to 2020, we have evaluated the species composition of gamasid ticks found on the common vole and in their nests and burrows, and identified the presence of tularemia over time. We evaluated five different geographical landscapes: semidesert, dry mountain steppe, mountain steppe, mountain forest, and high mountain in the communities and open areas of Kapan, Goris, Sisian, Meghri, and Jermuk.Results:We determined the density of gamasid ticks in southeastern Armenia over the 50-year period and isolated 20 cultures of tularemia in 12 separate years.Conclusions:It is important to regularly monitor gamasid ticks in southeastern Armenia to clarify the risk factors for the occurrence of tularemia epizootics, among both carriers and vectors, to better understand the full epidemiological picture.
