Popis:	Quantitative characteristics of phoresy of fleas on their rodent hosts inhabiting the sand landscapes of the northwestern Precaspian region were obtained. The structure of parasitic contact networks formed in the process was determined. The probability of a host change by fleas as the result of periodic feeding was assessed as high. The parameters of flea distribution were shown to be similar in the Northwestern Precaspian region and the Volgo-Ural sands. The ability of the flea Xenopsylla conformis to parasitize on social voles without significantly decreasing its abundance was revealed.
