The seminar was organized by the Councils of Young Scientists of the Stavropol Anti-Plague Institute of Rospotrebnadzor (Stavropol), FBUN NNIIEM them. Academician I.N. Blokhina of Rospotrebnadzor (Nizhny Novgorod), Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor (Moscow), FKUN Russian Anti-Plague Institute "Microbe" (Saratov), FKUZ Rostov-on-Don Anti-Plague Institute of Rospotrebnadzor (Rostov-on-Don) , FKUZ Volgograd Anti-Plague Institute of Rospotrebnadzor (Volgograd), FKUZ Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute of Rospotrebnadzor (Irkutsk), FBUN RostovResearch Institute of Microbiology and Parasitology of Rospotrebnadzor (Rostov-on-Don).

More than 40 young scientists and specialists took part in the on-line event. According to the agenda, 15 scientific reports on the following issues were considered and discussed at the seminar:

• improvement of epidemiological surveillance of natural focal, zoonotic and other dangerous infections based on the use of modern molecular genetic methods;
• application of new methods and geoinformation systems during monitoring in the centers of dangerous infections;
• improvement of diagnostic preparations and methods for indication and identification of pathogens of infectious diseases.

From our institute, young scientists made presentations:

Lapin V.A. “Virus-Like Norovirus Particles”
Oparina S.V. with a report on the topic “Features of the circulation of the epidemic variant of norovirus GII.4Sydney in the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod region”

The material of the reports aroused great interest of the audience.

Following the results of the seminar-conference, the Resolution was adopted
