In the work on real data, the modeling and assessment of the infection rate of a population of ixodid ticks with tick-borne encephalitis virus and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is carried out using the maximum likelihood and moment methods, and their comparative analysis is given. A review of methods for solving direct and inverse problems of binary object propagation based on individual and group observations is made.
