Abstract

A complex of possible vectors and reservoirs of infection in nature has been investigated in five different nidi of hemorrhagic fever with the renal syndrome in the Primorje territory. 2455 ixodid ticks, 19 458 trombiculid mites, 10 942 gamasid mites and 2138 fleas were collected from 1700 small mammals. It has been established that every investigated nidus differs in a peculiar specific composition and ratio between small mammals and their ectoparasites.
