Annotation:

Data on biodiversity and ecology of feather mites associated with the hirundinid birds (Hirund-inidae) in the south and south-east of Kazakhstan are presented. Seasonal changes in the populations of feather mites of the genera Scutulanyssus and Trouessartia (abundance, sex and age composi-tion) were studied in four hirundinid host species.
