Deer bloodsucker (Lipoptena cervi, L. 1758), also known as “moose fly”, “moose louse”, “deer ked” (English) is a widespread specialized blood-sucking parasite of warm-blooded animals belonging to the family Hippoboscidae, order Diptera. The main hosts of Lipoptena cervi are representatives of the Cervidae family. The function of flying individuals is to search for a host and resettlement. This form in the development cycle of the deer bloodsucker is very important, if the bloodsucker does not attack the host for several days, it will die. This explains its activity and importunity of the attack, including on humans. In addition to causing inconvenience upon contact, the moose fly is a carrier of pathogens. In Russia, it is little studied and remains in the shadow of the main carriers - Ixodes ticks (Ixodes). And the main problem of the moose fly is its participation in the transmission of etiological agents of vector-borne diseases, such as Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis, babesiosis, rickettsiosis. It is important to note that the use of aerosols and specialized anti-mosquito suits as a counter to the molestation of bloodsuckers has not been confirmed.
