Displayed are the results of epizootiological differentiation of the Pre-Caspian sandy plague focus in the territory supervised by Astrakhan and Elista plague control stations (Volga-Kumsk Interfleuve). This differentiation is significant for further development of epizootiological monitoring practice in the enzootic regions. Using circular extrapolation method, designed is the map of the persistent epizootic region within the last period of the focus activation since 1979 till 2010. Depicted is the dislocation of focus activity nucleuses and areas where short-term epizootic process is registered. Identified are their qualitative characteristics. Determined is the fact that density of plague-positive samples in the nucleuses is much higher, than in the areas with non-recurring manifestations. This cartographic differentiation model can be used for justified and substantiated planning of epidemiological control measures and further investigation of problems related to plague epizootiology.
