Karelian Research Centre RAS and Ruskeala have been partners since 2010. Over these years, due to cooperation with Karelian scientists, the mining park has repeatedly acted as a platform for international working meetings, seminars of cross-border- and large cooperation projects.
The working meeting on April 14 gathered representatives of the park’s operator LLP Kolmas Karelia, KarRC RAS, Russian Geographical Society, Museum Technologies company (St. Petersburg), and Republic of Karelia Tourist Information Center.

Scientists exploring for fungal strains capable of controlling ixodid tick numbers
Karelian scientists have conducted an experiment where taiga ticks (Ixodes persulcatus) were infected with various strains of entomopathogenic fungi – parasites that affect many groups of arthropods. The strain collected from Bolshoy Solovetsky Island in the White Sea proved to be the most effective: tick mortality in this treatment was 45% on the seventh day and rose to 95% on the eleventh day. The results can be used to develop biologics for controlling the numbers of the main vector of dangerous diseases.
