Abstract
The landscape-ecologic zoning of HFRS natural foci was carried out. Three zones and 13 natural foci were ear-marked in the territory of the Republic of Mordovia. Places where people can be infected and the indices of HFRS immunity of the community in some natural foci were determined. As a result of epizootiologic investigation it was stated that 4.1 % of rodents were infected by Hantavirus. Continuous monitoring of HFRS natural foci is necessary to carry out modern preliminary prophylactics of this disease.
