Abstract
New foci of hantavirus circulation were revealed at the territories of Altay and Krasnoyarsk Territories, in Novosibirsk, Kemerovo, Tomsk Regions and in the Republic of Altay. It was shown that hantaviruses are distributed over all the landscape zones and subzones. The carriers of hantaviruses at the studied territory are bank vole, large-toothed redback vole, northern red-backed vole, narrow-skulled vole, dark vole, root vole, sagebruch vole, east-asian and field mouse.
