title: [Zonal types of host-parasite complexes of arthropods and small mammals in a flat part of Western Siberia].
abstract: Within a flat part of Western Siberia distribution of the small mammals and parasitic arthropods connected with them is accompanied by formation zonal host-parasite complexes dated for corresponding landscape zones or subzones: tundra complex dated for a tundra zone; forest complex dated for a forest zone (including subzones northern taiga, middle taiga, southern taiga and subtaiga); forest-steppe complex dated for a northern forest-steppe subzone; steppe complex dated for a southern forest-steppe subzone and steppe. Parasitic specificity of each type of a complex is defined by arthropods of different systematical and ecological groups: a tundra complex is defined by epizoite gamasid mites (Mesostigmata), forest and forest-steppe complexes is defined by tick (Ixodides) and fleas (Siphonaptera), steppe complex is defined by fleas and nidicolous gamasid mites.
