| Summary: | It is commonly known that under gerbil population depression habitable colonies are preserved as groups with varying number of colonies. In this connection, objectives of the study have turned out to be determination of minimum threshold number as regards habitable colonies where plague microbe circulation takes place. With the help of the computer model for plague epizootic process development determined is the fact that plague epizooty can last for a long while within the group of 25 habitable great gerbil colonies under certain conditions. This measure is reasonably close to the known factual evidence concerning a number and distribution of colonies at the time of major population depression. Therewith, one can conclude that plague microbe circulation can take place even in the course of major great gerbil population depression. |
