Spatial Features of HFRS Morbidity in Territory of Republic Bashkortostan in 2010 - 2015

Introduction. The main aim of the study is to identify the territories in the Republic of Bashkortostan and the categories of residents at high risk of HFRS infection for determining the directions of preventive measures. Materials and methods. Analyzed and synthesized have been the long-term data from the Service of Surveillance on Consumer¹ Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing Administration in the Republic of Bashkortostan on the HFRS incidence in 54 administrative districts. Results and discussion. Identified have been administrative districts with high, medium, and low risk of exposure to HFRS during. It is established that 85.2% of infections, registered at that time in Bashkortostan, occurred in the natural HFRS focus in the forest-steppe landscape-geographical zone. The urban/rural differential ratio in the natural foci in the forest-steppe area was 61.2% and 38.8%, respectively; in the forest zone -19.2% and 80.8%; while in the steppe - 2.2% and 97.8%. Conclusions. In order to decrease the level of HFRS morbidity in the territory of Bashkortostan, it is necessary to considerably expand the scope and augment the intensity of preventive activities in the areas of high risk of exposure, first and foremost, in Ufa city and Ufa Region, Tuimazinsky region (Oktyarsky and Tuimazy cities), Kumertau, Birsk, and Sterlitamak cities.
