PROBLEMS OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL GEOGRAPHY. REPORT 7. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ANTHROPOSPHERE IN THE GEOGRAPHY OF ZOONOSES CAUSATIVE AGENTS

Abstract

The development of the anthroposphere exerted a serious influence on the population structure of parasites of synanthropic animals, in certain respects occupying an intermediate position between zoonoses of domestic and wild animals. Nevertheless, synanthropic animals, developing according to the laws of primeval nature, form populations in the anthroposphere and enter into the composition of its biocenoses (community of species of synanthropic and semisynanthropic animals). In connection with this also, true parasites of such animals are fellow members of the biocenoses of the anthroposphere. At the same time the formation of enzootic foci among synanthropic animals comes under the influence of the practical activity of man, which brings them together with enzootic foci of zoonoses of farm animals.
