Complex and interwoven bio-ecological relations of virus, vectors and hosts (humans, animals) demands constant vigilance and monitoring. This is very important for areas that by their specificity have high potential for new nosoareal appearance of highly pathogen zoonotic character agents (wetlands area, lakes, swamps...). Such areas are marked as epizootiological-epidemiological hotspots for which is to make longtime research projects and plans depending on infection vectors appearance and presence of potential reservoir species. Potential hotspot for West-Balkan region is Obedska Bara locality, where is during year placed undisturbed contact between migratory birds and domestic receptive species, which alows new pathogen appearance and distribution. As a need to follow new pathogen import and their presence in Obedska Bara ecosystem, certain investigation is conducted on reservoir species and agents transferor, for Avian Influenza (HPI) and West-Nile virus (WNV). Obtained preliminary results show that in this ecosystem these viruses circulate.
