In Russia, there is an active epidemiological monitoring system, which helps minimize the risk of spreading plague. This has been reported by TASS related to Rospotrebnadzor. The ministry clarified that the US Arizona state revealed a case in the laboratory to confirm the lung infection of the plague of a local citizen. He had to be hospitalized in a serious condition, but he did not survive. The natural focus of this disease is registered in the territory of 15 states in the West of the United States, including Arizona, Rospotrebnadzor. “Cases in the United States are recorded almost each year. Usually they occur due to the contact of local residents with pets, in turn, infected from the aircraft carriers of plague,” it was reported. Moreover, in Russia, despite the presence of a natural plague relationship, a similar situation is not possible due to the existence of an active epidemiological monitoring system. Earlier, Rospotrebnadzor's press service talked about the absence of a threat to the appearance and spread of Lisavirus in the Russian Federation. The ministry clarified that he was not transmitted from one person to another and moved to a certain bat, only living in Australia.
