title: [The role of lemmings in natural tularemia foci of arctic regions].
abstract: The presence of Taimyr of independent natural tularemia foci of tundra type was revealed on the basis of isolation of tularemia causative agent from lemmings and the objects of external environment and detection of a specific antigen in the pellets of birds-myophages and mummified cadavers of animals. Possible ways of circulation of the microbe in the lemming population are discussed.
