The population of birds and small mammal forest belts in the natural center of the Crimean hemorrhagic fever in the territory of Stavropol region

Abstract

The specific structure of birds and rodents on all landscape provinces of Stavropol Krai is presented. It is established that 84 bird species and 12 species of small mammals live in field-protecting plantings. In the province of foothill landscapes - 58 and 8 types, in forest-steppe - 55 and 6, in steppe - 51 and 8, in semidesertic - 45 and 9 types respectively. The data obtained by us, demonstrate that the dominating bird species in ield-protecting plantings have unequal epizootologichesky value. The rook is the dominating look in forest belts steppe and semi-desertic landscapes of edge, as defines his role as main prokormitel the preimaginalnykh of phases of an ixodic tick of Hyalomma marginatum. The dominating types among rodents are Sylvaemus uralensis, Mus musculus and Microtus arvalis changing the leading value on landscape zones. The birds infected with LZN and KGL activators, rodents and insectivorous were registered in all landscape provinces that in turn defines further need of carrying out epizootologichesky monitoring of these and other natural and focal infections.
