Abstract
Displayed are the results of study of the Volga-Ural sandy plague focus spatial structure. Constructed has been the map of the area with long-lasting persistent epizootic manifestations, monitored throughout the whole period from 1926 to 2012, using method of circular extrapolation of plague microbe detection points. Epizootic area mapping and map adjustment have been carried out automatically with the help of ArcGIS-10 software. The map displays the dislocation of plague focus activity nuclei and zones of short-term epizootic process registration; identified have been their quantitative parameters. Cartographic model of plague-focal territory differentiation against epizootic manifestation index is designed for validated planning of epidemiological surveillance activities and further studies of plague enzootics issues. The data obtained can be used for epidemiological zoning of territories as regards plague.
