Abstract:

Studies prove that plague in Citellus undulatus exists in the nature with the pattern of successive prevalence every year. Citellophilus tesquorum altaicus is not only the main transmission vector, but also the reservoir of C. undulatus plague. And the latter can spread Yersinia pestis. The fact challenges to the traditional theory of natural focus and carries out a theory breakthrough.
