It was established that the incidence of this infection from 2001 to 2015 was characterized by a predominance of middle-aged persons, a connection between the severity of the clinical course and infection conditions, a seasonal and long-term distribution of cases and features of the epizootic process among murine rodents - natural carriers of hantavirus. Infection with ortho-hantavirus among military personnel took place both in domestic conditions and in the process of military professional activity.
