“…cricetus is capable of mass multiplication (outbreak). This is probably promoted by favourable climatic conditions, such as rainless, warm weather (GRULICH, 1973, MANNINGER and KACSO, 1961, PETZSCH, 1950, TOTH, 1974, or by manmade conditions: removal of the detrimental effects of floods, a low ground water level and changes in agricultural technology (GRULICH, 1973, KOVACS and SZABO, 1971, PETZSCH and PETZSCH, 1968, TOTH, 1974. Levels of 30-50 (HUBERT.…”

“…Similarly, 177,500 were captured in the vicinity of Aschersleben in 1900 (WERTH, 1934) and an average 192,102 per year, at the same place, during 1953(HUBERT, 1968. Consequently, PETZSCH reconsidered his previous views in 1968 (PETZSCH and PETZSCH, 1968). In the German Democratic Republic, 1-2 million hamsters were collected during 1952-1956(KEILBACH, 1966 and, according to the counties Magdeburg, Hal!e and Aschersleben, on average, 1,302,140 specimens were captured annually during 1953(HUBERT, 1968.…”

Taxonomy, distribution, biology, population dynamics, economic importance and control measures regarding Cricetus cricetus (L.) are reviewed on the basis of available data, including recent developments and some unpublished work. The common hamster is a significant pest in central and eastern Europe and, supposedly, modern agricultural technology provides favourable conditions for it. Besides field crop losses, other types of damage and hygienic hazards are also conspicuous when the hamster occurs at peak densities. At present, the best method of control is fumigation, e.g. the use of hydrogen phosphide. There is a lack of information about this hamster and more research is needed confirming its ethology, population dynamics and some methodological problems. Control techniques which are suitable for simultaneous application on large surfaces and which are innocuous to the environment are urgently needed.
