Abstract

West-Nile fever epidemic season lasted since May to September inclusively in 2014 in Russia. It was marked by the low morbidity intensity, which manifested itself in the old-established foci only. In total reported were 27 cases of West-Nile fever infection in 8 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Decrease in epidemic process intensity was observed in other parts of the world too: the USA, Canada, European and Mediterranean countries. Sustained circulation of WNF virus of the second genotype in the territory of the Russian Federation (the Volgograd Region) was verified using sequencing of the fragments of the viral RNA genome locuses 5’UTR-protC, ProtE, NS3 obtained from clinical material and ambient environment objects.
