The aim of the work was to identify viruses transmitted by transmission in hard ticks collected in several regions of the European part of Russia. The viral RNA of ticks of the genus Ixodes , collected from natural foci of tick‐borne encephalitis in the Astrakhan region, Karelia and Stavropol Krai, was studied by PCR and sequencing of the obtained virus‐specific DNA fragments. Genomic markers of viruses of the Flaviviridae , Phenuiviridae and Nairoviridae families were found in ticks collected i
