Introduction. The end of 20th and beginning of 21st century is marked by the discovery of new, supercontagious and fast spreading viral diseases. Since 1967, more than 40 new agents have been identified, including human immunodeficiency virus, Ebola, Marburg fever, severe acute respiratory syndrome, hepatitis C, hepatitis E viruses and Zika virus. Modern lifestyle, availability and speed of air traffic, migrations, as well as climate changes, enable faster spreading of infectious diseases from the regions that were hardly reachable. We selected a few diseases that raised the greatest attention among experts and public in general. Ebola. Ebola virus raises anxiety due to high mortality and fast spreading by using inter-human contact. Zika virus. Zika virus, that most often causes mild symptoms, is potentially responsible for microcephaly in neonates. Dengue. Dengue virus is an ?old story?, but in last decades incidence has multiplied by 30. West Nile virus. Although discovered in 1937, West Nile virus has been found exclusively in rural parts of Africa, while nowadays it represents one of the most important etiological factors of viral meningo-encephalitis all over the world. Hepatitis E. Today it is well-known that hepatitis E virus can cause not only acute viral hepatitis but also potentially blood-transmitted chronic hepatitis in immunocompromised, as well as some neurological disorders. Conclusion. One of the scientific challenges in the future will certainly be the discovery of available and cost-effective diagnostic tests, as well as efficient and safe vaccines for these diseases. Up to now, efficient prophylaxis is available only for Denga virus.

The coronavirus pandemic has an impact not only on the morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases, but also on an increase in unemployment and drop in income, as well as on all areas of life as result of self-isolation and quarantine measures. Many analytical materials provide an analysis of the state of the economic sphere in our country, but, at the same time, there are very few publications that would relate to the socio-economic situation of the regional economy. The pandemic has impacted all organizations directly or indirectly, but tourism, hospitality, pharmaceuticals, passenger transportation, catering, sports and culture are particularly affected. The current situation demanded from the state authorities and local self-government significant organizational and financial resources associated with both minimizing losses in the economy: supporting small and mediumsized businesses, the population, and organizing the work of medical institutions experiencing an increased load in terms of reprofiling beds, equipping hospitals with additional equipment, consumables. The authors analyzed the main measures taken by both federal and regional authorities to maintain entrepreneurial activity and the population in the current situation in the Altai Territory. The article provides recommendations aimed at minimizing the consequences of COVID-19.

It is now more than 40 years since Sir Macfarlane-Burnet announced to the world that ?one can think of the mid-20th century as marking the virtual elimination of infectious disease as a significant factor in life? (1962). Along similar lines, Jesse Steinfeld, at the beginning of his reign as US Surgeon General, famously said that it was ?time to close the book? on the problem of infectious diseases (1969).

Infectious diseases remain a leading cause of death worldwide. Despite this fact, as well as the increasing recognition that microbial resistance is emerging as a serious threat to human health, antimicrobial research and development are declining. The current situation has evolved through a complex interaction of scientific, economic and regulatory forces. New approaches are needed. If therapies are unavailable or failing, we have only two options: we can prevent infections or we can develop new strategies to deal with them.

: With the rapid increase in covid-19 cases, the issues related to situation with respect to safety and precautions along with proper authorized persons is necessary. To avoid the spread of infectious diseases and illness, IoT based Smart authentication and temperature monitoring and sanitization system is the feasible and the trending solution. In the proposed system, the entrance of a particular firm or office will be provided with the embedded system which helps in real time monitoring and surveillance feature with proper sanitization. The data regarding the user’s personal information and temperature values will be used to provide information with respect to automated authentication and safety measures. The sensors will increase the efficiency of data gathered related to avoid spread of infectious diseases. The analysis of ceaseless data gathered from the system over cloud platform will help authorities to improve plans and measures related to the current situation.

Natural Foci

Presence of combined natural foci of plague, tularemia, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, West-Nile encephalitis, Astrakhan spotted fever in the North-West Precaspian region was substantiated. Influence of anthropogenic and climatic conditions in formation of combined natural foci of infectious diseases of bacterial, rickettsial and viral etiology was pointed out. Up-to-date potential epidemic danger of the territories under consideration was evaluated.
