In September--October of 1973 and 1974 263 specimens of Rhombomys opimus were shot in the territory of the Murghab stationar. The seeding of the material (a piece of tissue) from all animals into NNN medium was done. 9 strains of L. tropica major were isolated from this material the virulence of which was studied on 2.5--3 months--old golden hamsters, Cricetus auratus. Differences in the virulence of the isolated strains according to their natural-territorial complexes are shown. These differences depend apparently on the specific composition of the vectors. It is shown that the specific composition of sand flies as well as other epizootical characters are determined by the landscape of the territory where nidi of zoonosis cutaneous leishmaniasis are situated.
1973年9月至10月以及1974年，在穆尔加布驻地范围内射杀了263只大沙鼠。将所有动物的材料（一块组织）接种到NNN培养基中。从该材料中分离出9株热带利什曼原虫硕大利什曼亚种，在2.5至3月龄的金黄仓鼠（金仓鼠）上研究了其毒力。展示了分离菌株根据其自然地域组合在毒力上的差异。这些差异显然取决于媒介的特定组成。结果表明，白蛉的特定组成以及其他动物流行病学特征是由皮肤利什曼病动物疫源地所在地区的景观决定的。
