Annotation:

The paper presents data on chigger mites of the tamarisk jird Meriones tamariscinus Pallas, 1773 and the libyan jird M. lybicus Lichtenshein, 1823 in Kyrgyzstan. Sixteen species and 9 genera of chigger mites parasitic on gerbillids were re-vealed. The peculiarities of rodents' infestation by Trombiculidae depending on the altitude or cer-tain season of the year are discussed. A list of localities of chigger mite species parasitic on gerbillids in Kyrgyzstan is provided.
