Brandt's Vole ( is one of the most abundant rodent species in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, China, and one of the main carriers of , the plague bacterium. There have been several instances of plague transmission among , and all of their dominant flea species are known carriers of plague. Little work has been done to understand the regulation of flea abundance on by biotic and abiotic factors. Here, we examine the impacts of host and climate variation on flea abundance on in May, July, and September of 2021 in the East Ujumqin Banner, Xilinhot City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. We arrived at the following conclusions: 1) There were 8 flea species representing 2 families and 5 genera collected from , and , , and were most common. 2) Host body weight, host age, season, temperature, and humidity are key factors influencing flea abundance on . 3) Flea species vary in their respective responses to factors.
布氏田鼠是中国内蒙古草原上数量最多的啮齿动物物种之一，也是鼠疫杆菌的主要宿主之一。在布氏田鼠之间已经发生了几起鼠疫传播事件，并且它们所有的优势跳蚤物种都是已知的鼠疫携带者。关于生物和非生物因素对布氏田鼠身上跳蚤数量的调节作用，目前的研究较少。在此，我们研究了宿主和气候变异对2021年5月、7月和9月内蒙古自治区锡林浩特市东乌珠穆沁旗布氏田鼠身上跳蚤数量的影响。我们得出以下结论：1）从布氏田鼠身上采集到了代表2科5属的8种跳蚤，其中方形黄鼠蚤松江亚种、光亮额蚤指名亚种和二齿新蚤最为常见。2）宿主体重、宿主年龄、季节、温度和湿度是影响布氏田鼠身上跳蚤数量的关键因素。3）不同跳蚤物种对各因素的反应各不相同。
