Résumé

Marmots are widely spread in open landscapes of North Hemisphere mountyains and plains. Within their range they mosaicly disperse and have low density. Large size and big shelter-burrow are responsable for the major role they play in biocoenosis and in conservation of natural foci-zoonosis. Peculiarities in marmot ecology and behaviour create conditions favourable for microbe and virus transmission. A list of marmot diseases and the pattern of distribution, microbe circulation and activity of natural foci in marmots iss here presented and discussed.
