Objective - analysis of the epizootic-epidemiological situation on natural-focal infections in the resort city of Sochi. Materials and methods. We used the reports on and results of annual epizootiological monitoring of the territory of Sochi, presented by the Rospotrebnadzor Administration in the Krasnodar Territory, Center of Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Krasnodar Territory, Black Sea Plague Control Station, Sochi Anti-Plague Department of the Black Sea Plague Control Station, Stavropol Research Anti-Plague Institute. Results and discussion. The paper provides the analysis of the incidence among population, the results of epizootiological monitoring and molecular-genetic studies of isolates collected in the territory of the resort city of Sochi during 2014-2018. The most significant natural-focal infections in this region are: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, Lyme disease, intestinal yersiniosis, leptospirosis. It was established that the natural foci of the infections studied in the territory of the resort city of Sochi are combined ones, which increases their epidemic importance and imposes requirements for a more in-depth survey of the territories. Thus, the current epizootiological-epidemiological situation on natural-focal infections in the region of the resort city of Sochi is characterized by the preservation of the activity of natural foci and indicates the need for their continuous monitoring, as well as implementation of a set of regulated preventive measures.
