На зараженность возбудителями ИКБ исследовали иксодовых клещей Ixodes ricinus, Haemaphysalis concinna, H. inermis, Rhipicephalus sanguineus с последующим секвенированием изолятов ДНК. Видовую идентификацию боррелий проводили на основе анализа нуклеотидной последовательности фрагмента гена 16S рРНК по алгоритму BLAST. Дополнительно для изолятов патогенных геновариантов определен OspC-генотип путем сравнения полученных последовательностей с референсными в программе MEGA 5. Данные проанализированы картографическим методом с применением программы QGIS 2.18.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты и обсуждение</title><p>Результаты и обсуждение. В период с 2017 по 2022 г. на территории Черноморского побережья Краснодарского края зарегистрирован 101 заболевший, что составило 1,6 % всех случаев ИКБ в Краснодарском крае. Количество обращений с укусами в г. Сочи составляло до 191,4 на 100 тыс. населения. В ходе исследования методом секвенирования определен преобладающий на территории Черноморского побережья Краснодарского края геновид боррелий – Borrelia lusitaniae (78,1 %). Также отмечена циркуляция геновидов B. garinii (6,8 %), B. valasiana (5,7 %), B. afzelii (3,6 %), B. miyamotoi (2,6 %), B. tanukii, B. bissettii (по 1,6 %). Для боррелий патогенных видов определена принадлежность к OspC-геногруппам: четыре изолята отнесены к инвазивным OspC-геногруппам, из них три изолята B. afzelii – к геногруппе A8, один изолят B. garinii – к G7. На анализируемой территории отмечается высокая зараженность клещей боррелиями (до 94,5 %). Боррелии патогенных видов составляют всего 10,4 % от общего числа исследованных изолятов. Преимущественно встречаются геноварианты, редко вызывающие заболевание у людей (B. lusitaniae, B. valasiana, B. bissettii), и непатогенные боррелии (B. tanukii), что свидетельствует о низком риске инфицирования возбудителями ИКБ.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The aim of the study was to assess the current epidemiological situation on Ixodidae tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB) (2017–2022) on the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory, to study the species composition of Borrelia.</p><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. Ixodidae ticks, Ixodes ricinus, Haemaphysalis concinna, H. inermis, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, were examined for infection with tick-borne borreliosis pathogens, followed by DNA sequencing of isolates. Species identification of Borrelia was carried out based on analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene fragment using BLAST algorithm. Additionally, the OspC genotype was determined for isolates of pathogenic genovariants through comparing the obtained sequences with reference ones in the MEGA 5 program. The data were processed applying the cartographic method using the QGIS 2.18 software.</p></sec><sec><title>Results and discussion</title><p>Results and discussion. Between 2017 and 2022, 101 cases were registered on the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory, which accounted for 1.6 % of all ITBB cases in the Krasnodar Territory. The number of complaints with tick bites in Sochi was up to 191.4 per 100 thousand population. During the study, the predominant Borrelia geno-species on the territory of the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory was determined using sequencing – Borrelia lusitaniae (78.1 %). The circulation of geno-species B. garinii (6.8 %), B. valasiana (5.7 %), B. afzelii (3.6 %), B. miyamotoi (2.6 %), B. tanukii, B. bissettii (1.6 % each) was also observed. For Borrelia pathogenic species, appurtenance to OspC geno-groups was ascertained: four isolates were assigned to invasive OspC geno-groups, of which three B. afzelii isolates were genogroup A8, one B. garinii isolate was G7. High rate of infection of ticks with Borrelia was recorded in the surveyed area (up to 94.5 %). Borrelia of pathogenic species account for only 10.4 % of the total number of isolates studied. Mostly, genovariants that rarely cause diseases in humans (B. lusitaniae, B. valasiana, B. bissettii) and non-pathogenic Borrelia (B. tanukii) were found, which indicates a low risk of infection with ITBB pathogens.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>иксодовый клещевой боррелиоз</kwd><kwd>идентификация</kwd><kwd>генотипирование</kwd><kwd>Краснодарский край</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Ixodidae tick-borne borreliosis</kwd><kwd>identification</kwd><kwd>genotyping</kwd><kwd>Krasnodar Territory</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Nguyen A., Mahaffy J., Vaidya N.K.
