Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, emerging issues for the study

Abstract

In the work results on morbidity rate of Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) in the Ulyanovsk region for 2003- 2013 129626 are presented with the use of the epidemiological method, for the establishment a causal relationship to the number and infection of rodents. The material presented shows that in addition to well-known classical criteria to exert its influence on the epidemic process in HFRS there are others, in particular an increasingly growing role of anthropogenic factors to be scrutiny in the system of epidemiological surveillance of the infection. We observe that results, taking into account the number of rodents and their infection by Hantavirus, not conclusively found for the last 11 years, are not decisive in the development of the epidemic process of HFRS in Ulyanovsk Region.
