To evaluate the epidemiological situation with tularemia in the Republic of Karelia to determine the directions of preventive work in modern conditions.Conclusions. Analysis of the epizootic and epidemiological situation regarding tularemia in the Republic of Karelia demonstrates the possibility of intensifying the epizootic process after decades of relative prosperity. The increase in the incidence of the population was not only the result of the activation of natural foci of infection, but also of improved diagnosis of the disease and change in tactics for using vaccines in areas enzootic for tularemia.
