As RIA "data" the press service Rosportebnadzora control in Primorsky Krai, for 8 months of 2009, the region recorded 40 cases of hemorrhagic fever and renal syndrome (HFRS), for the same period in 2008 recorded 24 cases of HFRS, the growth rate - 66 %. Greatest number of cases registered in Vladivostok - 26 cases (65%), the incidence recorded in Ussuriysk, in Kavalerovo, Olginskiy, Ternejskij, Dalnegorsk, Chuguyivske areas. In June 2009 the group recorded the incidence of HFRS in Olginskiy area. Ill 6 people, 5 of them diseased - rangers working in the Federal "National Park" The Call of the Tiger ", 1 - Officer of the Pacific Institute of Geography FEB RAS, worked on the reserve. Ill lived in a wooden house in the forest, for drinking, cooking and washing utensils used water from the creek, which could serve as a factor in transmission. There could be air-dust mechanism of transmission.
HERS is a natural focal diseases with air-dust mechanism of transmission. The carriers of the virus causing the disease, are rodents. They shed the virus into the environment with body fluids.
According to the results of epidemiological investigations conducted by the centers found that, in general, patients infected during outdoor recreation, lodging in the woods, when collecting wild plants, rest and work in the country, hunting and lodging in the forest, while working in the garage, outbuildings, as well as living in private homes, where there are rodents.

The source of human infection are small mammals, mainly wild rodents - chronic carriers of hantavirus. Transmission between rodents through Gamasid mites. The causative agent, together with aerosols containing waste products animals, through the upper airways into the lungs followed by distribution rights through the blood to other organs.
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) - a natural focal viral disease, common in many administrative territories of Russia. Primorsky Territory refers to the territories with high activity of natural foci of disease incidence is recorded annually.
