In 2007 further increase of Crimean haemorrhagic fever (CHF) morbidity was registered in the territory of the Southern federal district. The cause of this is primarily the increase of the population level of H. marginatum. In the light of present epidemic situation we inclined to believe the prognosis for CHF in 2008 is unfavorable. The necessary measures to assure epidemiologic well-being for CHF are stated in the article. Acaricidal treatment of cattle carried out before mass activity of ticks and registration of the first patients is considered to be the primary one.
