The analysis of clinical-epidemiological features of plague in Mongolia in 1986-2009 demonstrated the decrease of the number of primary pulmonary plague cases, prevalence of bubonic plague, increase of the morbidity in women and children in the last decade. Considering the high epidemiologic potential of foci of the marmot's type, where the marmots are captured illegally by poachers, considerable probability of the bubonic plague being complicated with pneumonia or sepsis, it is necessary to improve plague epidemiologic surveillance in Mongolia.
