The age structure of the natural population of X. conformis was studied by means of luminiscent microscopy. The method has made possible a detail differentiation of females into age groups and can be used in field conditions. All age categories constituting a scale developed on a laboratory culture of fleas can be found among individuals caught on animals and in their nests. The autumn population consists of females that fed and did not reproduce and of individuals that interrupted their reproduction. The spring population is composed by reproducing females at different stages of reproduction. It has been established that in October begins the autumn--winter interwal in the reproduction of X. conformis and in the first half of April their spring activation that is in good agreement with published data.
通过荧光显微镜研究了符合种自然种群的年龄结构。该方法能够将雌性详细区分成不同年龄组，并且可在野外条件下使用。在从动物及其巢穴捕获的个体中，可以找到构成在跳蚤实验室培养物上建立的尺度的所有年龄类别。秋季种群由已进食但未繁殖的雌性以及中断繁殖的个体组成。春季种群由处于不同繁殖阶段的繁殖雌性组成。已经确定，在10月开始了符合种繁殖的秋冬间隔期，而在4月上半月开始其春季活跃期，这与已发表的数据非常吻合。
