Aim. The aim of the work is to carry out an analysis of the wetlands of the Republic of Dagestan in order to justify the selection of the collecting sites for material from migratory aquatic and semi aquatic birds in order to monitor the influenza A virus.Material and methods. Studying scientific publications of different years and available information on the wetlands of the Caspian Dagestan allowed establishing the areas of concentration of aquatic and semiaquatic birds where effective sampling for avian influenza is possible.Results. The spread of avian influenza viruses in nature is inextricably linked with migration of birds. Due to the presence of a large number of reservoirs, the western part of the Caspian region brings together large populations of wild waterbirds from various places within their migration routes. Mass accumulation encourages the interaction of birds of different species and populations, which in turn creates favorable conditions for the spread of various viral diseases.Conclusion. For an integrated assessment of the state of aquatic and semiaquatic bird populations, as well as monitoring the avian influenza infection rates, it is proposed to consider as model areas the wetlands of the Lake Aji (Papas), Lake Yuzhny Agrakhan, Agrakhansky Gulf, the Terek River delta and the Achikolsky systems of lake.
