abstract

Based on data for 1978–2005, the significance of 17 small mammals species in the circulation of 8 serum groups of leptospira was investigated. Occurrence of different leptospira serum groups both in populations of some species of small mammals and in their communities was analyzed. The role of various mammal species in the epizootic process in general and in maintaining natural foci of leptospirosis on the territory of Kharkiv region was identified. High levels of leptospirosis monohostality in foci with circulating serum group Pomona, in which the main carrier is Apodemus agrarius, were shown. The significance of additional hosts for the proper functioning of the natural foci of leptospirosis was noted.
