Abstract

The distribution of the great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus) and other carriers of CWD within the boundaries of villages on the territory of Aksu and Sarkad districts of Zhetysu region was studied. During this period, 30 walking routes were conducted within nine villages and surrounding landscapes to identify dens of the great gerbil in villages, determine their density, habitability and number of gerbils both within the boundaries of villages and in the surrounding landscape, as well as in search of dens and traces of other rodents. The presence of sandflies of the genus Meriones and their numbers on the territory of villages were revealed
