Abstract

The Arkhangelsk Region is a territory with a high number of rodents, as well as arthropods — carriers of some pathogens of zoonotic infections. With climate warming, there is an expansion of the ranges of blood-sucking arthropods and their natural hosts. The preservation of the pathogen in nature and its transmission are possible with the participation of blood-sucking arthropods and rodents. Insufficient doctors» awareness of zoonotic infections, a variety of clinical manifestations, a low percentage of bacteriological detection of pathogens of zoonotic infections, and a late humoral response make it more difficult to identify these patients and cause the frequency of misdiagnosis. In the Arkhangelsk Region, the incidence rates for zoonotic infections exceed those in Russia as a whole.
