ENTEROVIRUS INFECTION IN THE TERRITORIES OF THE FAR EASTERN AND SIBERIAN FEDERAL DISTRICTS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN 2024

The annual seasonal increase in the incidence of enterovirus infection with the registration of out-breaks in the Russian Federation and the ability of enteroviruses to recombine, leading to the emer-gence of new genovariants, including those with high epidemic potential, determine the relevance of constant epidemiological surveillance and molecular genetic monitoring of enteroviruses. An analysis of enterovirus infection incidence in the Far East and part of Eastern Siberia in 2024 was conducted, epidemically unfavorable territories were identified, the predominant types of enteroviruses (E30, E25, СV-A6, СV-A10, and СV-A16) were established, and a short-term forecast of enterovirus infection incidence for 2025 was presented.
