The core of ectoparasite fauna is the same throughout the host areal and includes two gamasid mites (&lt;em&gt;Spinturnix myoti&lt;/em&gt; (Kolenati, 1956) and &lt;em&gt;Macronyssus corethroproctus&lt;/em&gt; (Oudemans, 1902). The article studies the seasonal dynamics of the most mass ectoparasite — gamasid mite &lt;em&gt;Macronyssus corethroproctus&lt;/em&gt; (Oudemans, 1902) during the annual cycle. Process of reproduction of species &lt;em&gt;Macronyssus&lt;/em&gt; occurres in summer, it corresponds to the period of the hosts breeding, the percentage of immature stage is not reduced during summer. The summer months observe appearance of several generations of mites. Late summer — early autumn is the most active time in the process of reproduction of mites &lt;em&gt;Macronyssus corethroproctus&lt;/em&gt;. Refs 52. Figs 2.
