Annotation:

In the body cavity of unfed adult ticks Hyalom-ma asiaticum are capable to preserve for a month. The agents of salmonellesis and shigellosis infections as well as conditionally pathogenic bacteria Kl.pneumoniae. The ticks as model object is also a fevourable medium for the avirulent E.coli strain that is persistent in the body cavity either in isolated state or mixed with strain of S.typhimurium in proportion 1:1. Mixed bacterial carrying in unfed ticks will make it possible to reveal the antagonistic interrelations between cultures in the conditions of a sharp decrease in immunity of ticks.
