[Possible role of arthropods in the circulation and distribution of plasmids].

On the possible role of arthropods for the circulation and distribution of plasmids. Arthropods both of synanthropic and remote areas presumably have an indirect medico-epidemiological effect on the circulation and distribution of plasmids. Haematophagous parasites and saprophagous, necrophagous, coprophagous and polyphagous non-parasites seem to be suitable.
