Résumé

The sensitivity of marmots to plague microbe fluctuated with the 4 blood groups found in population of M. baibacina in Central Tian Shan. Spatial distribution of these marmot phenotypes showed that local epizooties of plague mostly appeared where 51% of IV-th blood group was present. Their mosaic spatial distribution was the result of genetic and ecological factors and allow to understand the microfocus manifestation of this infection. The test of marmot sensitivity to plague may be use in a system of epidemiological supervision as a prognosis sign of intensive epizooty when the risk of infection from marmots is high.
