Changes in the epidemiology and epizootiology of diseases with natural foci due to anthropogenic influence on biosphere necessitate thorough studies of ecological specific features of agents, carriers and vertebral hosts reflecting their adaptation to various natural geographical and social conditions. The attention should be focussed on geographical variability of agents, changes in populations of arthropod carriers and their feeders, monitoring of natural territorial complexes and scientifically grounded prognosis for diseases with natural foci.
