Popis: Dynamics of the reservoir potential (RP) and its index (IRP) in rodents inhabiting Primorskii krai and carriers of hantaviruses have been studied. The long-term annual average IRP in the genus Apodemus equals 0.83. In A. peninsulae, the IRP has turned out to be two times higher than that in A. agrarius (t = 2.636; n = 18; p = 0.017). The prognostic markers of a possible outbreak of epidemic disease caused by hantaviruses in Primorskii krai are discussed.
