International audience. 3’ 202113The article analyzes the results of three field surveys concerning the seroepidemiology of various zoonoses in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).These studies were carried out from 2007 to 2018 in Artic (Verkhoyansk area) and subarctic (Vilyuysk area then Central Yakutia) regions. Thefirst major finding was the presence of Lyme borreliosis in both Vilyuysk and Verkhoyansk areas. Then an elevated incidence rate of Q fever wasobserved in the Verkhoyansk area. Transmission of saprozoonotic toxocariasis and food-borne trichinellosis was remarkably low in the threesurveyed places. Finally, the epidemiological status of echinococcoses, alveolar and cystic, must be clarified by further field studies which will haveto assess the etiology and the respective part of these major zoonoses.
