Features of the Biotopic Distribution of Different Species of Small Mammals and their Role in Supporting the Natural Foci of Tularemia in the North-Eastern Part of the Voronezh Region

Different species of small mammals (SM) (539 total), cached in Voronezh region, were examined for antigen and DNA of Francisella tularensis. The basic species of SM involved in circulation of F. tularensis were revealed. The features of the biotopic distribution of infected SM on the territory of th...

Description
Summary:Different species of small mammals (SM) (539 total), cached in Voronezh region, were examined for antigen and DNA of Francisella tularensis. The basic species of SM involved in circulation of F. tularensis were revealed. The features of the biotopic distribution of infected SM on the territory of the natural foci were shown. The diversity of species SM ensures long operation and epizootic activity of the natural foci of tularemia.
