Abstract
The article presents a comprehensive epidemiological analysis of the family of blood-sucking midges (Diptera: Simuliidae). These insects are known for their role in the transmission of various pathogens to humans and animals, including viruses, bacteria and protozoa. Their distribution, seasonal dynamics and preferred habitats, as well as epidemiological significance in different geographic regions are considered. The study aims to inform and guide public health for the development of more effective strategies for the control and prevention of diseases transmitted by blood-sucking midges. Changes in the state of regional faunas associated with the shift in the boundaries of species ranges can be explained by both anthropogenic transformation of landscapes and climate dynamics. From the list of blood-sucking midges identified by us, inhabiting the territory of the Tyumen region, potential vectors of tularemia pathogens are B maculatus, Sch. рusilla, which is consistent with the literature data.
