The article considers the geography of emerging and re-emerging natural focal diseases in Russia. The data on the distribution and peculiarities of epidemic manifestations of eight key infections (ixodid tick-borne borrelioses, tick-borne encephalitis, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, tularemia, leptospirosis, West Nile fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and Astrakhan rickettsiosis fever) belonging to different groups of emerging and re-emerging diseases are presented. We estimated and mapped the risk of exposure to these infections in the European territory of Russia within natural borders (biomes).
