Statement of the Problem:
The transboundary Sari-Dzhas
natural focus of plague is located in north of Tien-Shan high-
mountains of Kyrgyzstan. Plague activity within this focus has
been high since 1940. In total, 473 plague epizootics were
registered in grey marmots (
Marmota baibacina
), the main
host from 1944 till 2016. The main objective is to analyze a
long-term effect of preventive measures by dusting marmot
burrows in this area undertaken in 1970s.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation:
The disinsection
of the plague focus territory was implemented by dusting
marmot burrows by DDT in 1974-1977. The flea control
was aimed to disrupt the chain of pathogen transmission
between animals and from animal to man
Findings:
Before intensive flea vectors by DDT there were
isolated 462 strains of plague in the focus. Those were - from
marmots (225), small rodents (2), and from ectoparasites,
mainly fleas (207) (Fig.1). The average index of flea
abundance was 1.3. After dusting the marmot burrows the
number of isolated strains decreased sharply with a total
number of isolates strains reduced to 11. Those were - from
marmots (8), small rodents (1), and ectoparasites (2). The
index of flea abundance declined to 0.2-0.8.
Conclusion & Significance:
The deep dusting of marmot
burrows has led to the long-term effect on plague circulation
within the Sari-Dzhas focus. However, alternative preventive
measures, specifically more ecological friendly, should be
introduced. Importantly, the plague endemic territory in the
distant and difficult to reach areas of Tien-Shan Mountains
should be monitored on annual basis.
