[Spatial distribution of fleas (Siphonaptera) in the burrows of the greater gerbil in the south central Kara-Kum].

It has been established that only a negligible part of fleas occurs on animals while the main habitats where the greater part of micropopulation is concentrated from April to September are mouth, passages and food chambers situated at a depth up to 60 cm. In March, October, November and December fleas are restricted to the passages of burrows at a depth over 100 cm.
