The studies were undertaken in the northwestern Caspian Sea region, the European part of Russia, which is noted for high plague epidemic rates. An analysis of many-year data from the plague institutions has established a unique phenomenon which is characterized by asynchronous epizootic functioning of 2 large-scale sandy and steppe foci undivided by physical borders. Great possibilities of differential prophylactic measures and optimization of plaque epidemiological surveillance, which are the basis for predicting the epizootic and epidemiological situation with higher confidence by applying various tactic and methodological techniques, efforts, and facilities on a substantiated bases through its implementation are associated with the phenomenon of large-area asynchronism.
这些研究是在里海西北部地区（俄罗斯的欧洲部分）进行的，该地区以高鼠疫流行率而闻名。对鼠疫机构多年数据的分析发现了一种独特现象，其特征是两个大规模沙地和草原疫源地在没有物理边界分隔的情况下，动物流行病的发生呈异步性。大面积异步现象为采取不同的预防措施以及优化鼠疫流行病学监测提供了巨大可能性，而通过在坚实基础上实施各种策略、方法、努力和设施，这些措施和监测是更有信心预测动物流行病和疫情形势的基础。
