Information on the epizootic situation in plague in the natural foci of North Caucasus and on the influence of a number of anthropogenic and natural factors on this situation is presented. The data given in this work indicate that under the conditions of the anthropogenic transformation of landscapes the character of the epizootic manifestations of plague is changed and new factors, capable of aggravating epidemiological situation, appear. In addition, some other factors must be considered, such as the insufficient financing of reliable field surveys at present, the impossibility of making reliable epizootological studies due to causes of the social character (armed conflicts), thus making it impossible to evaluate, with a sufficient degree of reliability, the real epizootic state of a number of territories and, therefore, the risk of human infection. In this connection the necessity to carefully plan prophylactic measures and measures aimed at the localization and liquidation of the probable foci of infection arises.
本文介绍了北高加索自然疫源地鼠疫的流行情况，以及一些人为和自然因素对这种情况的影响。这项工作给出的数据表明，在景观人为改造的条件下，鼠疫流行表现的特征发生了变化，出现了一些能够加剧流行病学形势的新因素。此外，还必须考虑其他一些因素，例如目前可靠的实地调查资金不足，由于社会性质的原因（武装冲突）无法进行可靠的动物流行病学研究，从而无法以足够的可靠性评估一些地区的实际动物流行病状况，进而无法评估人类感染的风险。因此，有必要精心规划预防措施以及旨在定位和清除可能感染源的措施。
