Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a zoonotic disease associated with orthohantaviruses maintained in natural rodent hosts. This study assessed the detection and spatial distribution of hantavirus RNA among small mammals in the West Kazakhstan Region in 2025 and compared rodent surveillance findings with human HFRS occurrence. An observational cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in July and September 2025 in four districts. A total of 343 small mammals were captured and morphologically identified. Lung tissue samples from 329 animals collected in September were examined
