Epyzootologic potential of the mice in the natural reservoirs of the hantaviral infection and its epidemiological value
Abstract
A total of 6462 small mammals of 10 species were collected from the Primorye region in 2001—2007 and examined by ELISA and IFA to detect hantavirus antigen and specific antibodies. Hantavirus circulation was revealed in 7 species. Index of epizootological potential (Iep) was offered for to evaluation of species of rodents as the potential source of hantavirus in periods of different activity of epizootic process in populations of rodents-reservoirs of etiologic agents of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Annual epidemic situation in Primorye is determined by epizootological potential of rodent's species of genus Apodemus — ecological hosts of pathogenic hantaviruses Far East and Amur. The results of correlation analysis showed the effectiveness index Iep in carrying out of zoological and epidemic monitoring in natural foci of hantaviral infection.
