The virologist rules out the possibility of a "rat fever" epidemic in Russia and the method of transmission of the pathogen eliminates the possibility of its rapid spread. Viktor Larichev spoke about this in a conversation with the "Moscow Speaks" radio station. Since it is not transmitted from person to person, there will be no global growth or epidemic like COVID. The number of cases associated with HFRS [hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, or "mouse fever" - approx. GM], it's almost the same every year. There are several different varieties. In Europe, less pathogenic, mortality up to 1%. In the Far East they are more violent, where the death rate can reach 10%. There is a vaccine registered in Korea, it may be available here. A vaccine is also being developed in Russia, but I don't know if it has already been registered. They usually become infected in the spring, when they arrive at the dacha and start cleaning. To protect yourself, you should wait until everything warms up, or wear a mask and gloves when cleaning.
