Shown, that small mammals were captured during 2010—2012 and 2015—2017; at least 16 species (n = 2905) of small mammals were trapped and 1205 individuals were examined for ectoparasites (tick and lice) on undeveloped sites, allotment gardens and control plots in the Surgut city. It is considered that the two most abundant species on undeveloped sites and control plots were common shrew (Sorex araneus) and northern red-backed vole (Myodes rutilus), while at the allotment gardens prevailed East European vole (Microtus rossiaemeridionalis) and house mouse (Mus musculus); tick were recorded from 6 species of small mammals and lice were recorded from 7 species; two species of tick (Ixodes persulcatus and I.apronophorus) and four species of lice (Hoplopleura acanthopus, H. edentula, H. longula and Polyplax hannswrangeli).
