New technologies based on remote sensing, has been actively developing now for the increasing the effectiveness of nature plague foci monitoring. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) «GeoScan–101» was used for monitoring and for orthophoto creating. The monitoring was carried out at Caspian nature plague focus on a stationary square 4 ha. The accounting of rodents’ holes had been implemented previously. Gerbils Meriones tamariscinus is the host of plague microbe in the Caspian natural plague focus. The monitoring using UAV allows identifying 78,26 % of Meriones tamariscinus holes as well as Microtus socialis and Ellobius talpinus. The comprehensive using remote sensing from space and data from drone (a high-resolution picture in real time) for elaboration data of remote sensing allows increasing the effectiveness of nature plague foci survey, where the hosts have the holes small diameter: the gerbils' genus Meriones and the voles’ genus Microtus.

The results of epizootological monitoring of the Southern European part of Russia (Southern and North- Caucasian Federal Districts), which has been tested for 18 nosological forms of natural focal infections are presented. There have been tested the laboratory studies of 45 615 samples of field material, the markers of pathogens of 15 nosological forms are identified. The circulation of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is identified in 10 subjects, the pathogen of tularemia – in eight regions, Lyme borreliosis – in seven, Q fever – in six; pathogens of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, West Nile fever, leptospirosis and human granulocytic anaplasmosis – in five subjects. The markers of pathogens of human monocytic ehrlichiosis and tick-borne viral encephalitis were detected in four subjects, pseudotuberculosis and intestinal yersiniosis – in three and Arboviruses (Sindbis, Inkoо, Tahyna) – in one region.
