[The functioning of a drained natural focus of leptospirosis in a nonchernozem area].
The drainage of a natural focus of leptospirosis of the flood plain-swamp type, carried out over the period of 15 years, has led to changes in the species structure of small mammals and to an increase in the number of Leptospira-carrying species. Nevertheless, like before drainage, the prevalent species and the main carrier of leptospires is still the root vole (Microtus oeconomus Pallas). The intensity of the epizootic process among small mammals at the final stage of drainage has proved to be similar to that at the initial stage. At the same time the cultivated fields created on the drained territory of the natural focus abound, by the time of harvesting, with small mammals among whom the intensive epizootic process takes place.
