[Cholera in the Far East of Russia. Communication 1. Epidemiological characteristics of the outbreak of cholera El tor in Vladivostok].

The materials on the investigation of the outbreak cholera eltor in Vladivostok, caused by the import of infection from China. The leading role of the water route of transmission of this infection is shown due to the contamination of water sources with non-decontaminated sewage water. The complex of antiepidemic measures was carried out, which made it possible to arrest the spread of cholera and liquidate its foci.

[Cholera in the Far East of Russia. Communication 2. Epidemiological characteristics of the outbreak of cholera El tor in Iuzhno-Sakhalinsk].

The outbreak of cholera eltor in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk has been analyzed. The fact of the import of this infection from China and its transmission mainly by the water route due to the intensive contamination of environmental objects has been substantiated. The effective purification decontamination of sewage water plays decisive role on the system of anticholera measures. The conclusion on the necessity of increasing the effectiveness of measures for the sanitary protection of the territory has been made.

[Establishment of the plague control system in Russia].

The specialized plague control facilities which began being founded as a system of institutions in Russia in 1897 have made a great contribution to epidemiological well-being against quarantine and particularly menacing diseases. The developmental stages of plague control service in different periods of the country's social life and its place in the general governmental preventive and antiepidemic measures are shown. The paper emphasizes that it is expedient to maintain the antiepidemic readiness of plaque control facilities due the fact that the epidemic situation is due menacing and zoonosis is expected to aggravate in the late 20th to the early 21st centuries.

[Isolation and identification of the smallpox virus which caused iatrogenic vaccinia in children in the city of Vladivostok].

The comparative study of the specimens of the morphological elements of exanthema obtained from 8 children with the clinical diagnosis of secondary exogenic vaccinia, dried smallpox vaccine and the cultures of other orthopoxviruses (rabbit pox, monkey pox and buffalo pox viruses) was made. The isolation and identification of the causative agents from the specimens was carried out with the use of modern virological, electron microscopic and molecular methods. The study proved the fact that 8 children had orthopoxvirus infection with its causative agent identified as vaccinia virus.

[Microorganisms and man. Various characteristics of their coexistence at present].

Modern data of literature on microbial associations and their role in human health and diseases are presented. As pointed out in this work, the characteristic feature of the XX century is the emergence and the re-emergence of 36 new infections. The emergence of many infections is associated with such factors as the increased migration of the population, ecological environmental disasters, etc. Grounds for a new view on the etiology of a number of chronic somatic diseases are given. The task of preparation development for the immunoprophylaxis of 25-30 infections has been set by WHO as its target for the year 2025. Prospects of new approaches to the development of new generation vaccines against bacterial, viral and parasitic infections, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, virus hepatitides, malaria, etc., are shown.

[Infectious diseases in natural reservoirs: epidemic situation and morbidity in the Russian Federation and prophylactic measures].

The analysis of morbidity in infections with natural foci in Russia for the period of 1999-2000 indicates that a rise in the number of cases of hemorrhagic fever with the renal syndrome, tick-borne encephalitis, Crimean hemorrhagic fever and West Nile fever with a high proportion of urban population among the patients is registered annually. An increase in the epizootic activity of the natural foci of plague is noted in the absence of morbidity among humans. The appearance of the outbreaks of tularemia is linked nor only with the increased activity of the natural foci, but also with the reduced coverage of the population with prophylactic immunization in endemic regions. This analysis infers that morbidity prognosis in infections with natural foci for 2001 remains unfavorable. The growth of morbidity in these infections is mainly due to the reduction of measures for controlling their vectors both is open nature and in settlements, as well as to low coverage with prophylactic immunization. Urgent complex measures which may ensure effective antiepidemic and prophylactic work for controlling infections with natural foci are presented.

[Isolation and identification of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in the Stavropol territory].

The results of the isolation and identification of the causative agent of a haemorrhagic fever outbreak in the Stavropol Territory are presented. The virus isolated from blood of haemorrhagic fever patients by virological methods was identified in serological and molecular tests as Crimean haemorrhagic fever virus. This epidemiological analysis testify to increased activity of the natural focus of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever in this area due to a number of natural and other factors leading to intensification of its epidemic realization.

[Cholera in Kazan. Organization and implementation of cholera control interventions].

Data on emergent epidemiological analysis of the cholera outbreak in Kazan are presented. A version of the cholera focus emergence was confirmed, namely water route of transmission as a result of bathing in a water reservoir where sewage waters had penetrated. The outbreak had local and acute character. The complex of cholera control interventions aimed at localization and liquidation of the focus proved to be effective.

[Frequency of occurrence of Hepatitis C virus markers and risk factors among hospital personnel in the Novosibirsk region].

The occurrence of markers, the genotypic variety of isolates and the profile of risk factors with respect to viral hepatitis C among 629 employees of the Regional Clinical Hospital (RCH) in Novosibirsk and 1,020 employees of the Central District Hospital (CDH) in Iskitim were studied in a cross-sectional investigation. The occurrence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) markers was 5.1% in RCH and 2.2% in CDH. Among the risk factors in the population under study were: the medical history of blood transfusions (TF) with 0 TF, anti-HCV = 2.3%; 1 TF, = 5.7% > 1 TF, = 13.5% (p < 0.001); general anesthesia (GA) with < or = 2 GA, anti-HCV = 2.8%; > 2 GA, = 7.8% (p = 0.002); surgical interventions (SU) with 0 SU, = 1.9%; > 0 SU, = 4.3% (p = 0.012); the intravenous use of drugs (OR = 31.8); age (< or = 25 years, anti-HCV IgG = 8.6% > 25 years, = 4.5%); the number of partners of the opposite sex < or = 4 partners, = 2.4%; > 4 partners, = 6.9%; p < 0.001). The probable risk factors at a working place (pricks and cuts, contamination of mucous membranes with blood and other biological fluids, etc.) proved to be faintly related with the status of HBV infection. HBV isolates detected in the examined persons (35 examinees) were distributed by genotypes as follows: 60% of subtype 1b, 28.6% of subtype 2a/2c, 11.4% of subtype 3a. HBV of genotype 1a was not detected in the examined specimens, while the detection rate of genotype 2a/2c was considerably greater than in specimens obtained in the European and Asian parts of Russia (according to the data reported earlier).

[Characterization of Vibrio cholerae eltor in the city of Kazan in 2001].

Information on V. cholerae eltor isolated in the focus of cholera in Kazan in 2001 at different periods of the outbreak is presented. The identity of strains isolated from patients, vibriocarriers and environmental objects, including their antibioticograms (sensitivity to cyprofloxacin and resistance to trimethoprim--sulfamethoxazole, streptomycin, furazolidone and nalidixic acid, which may be regarded as markers), is shown. Variable tandem repetitions in the DNA of 30 isolates strains of different origin have been determined. The results of this determination make it possible to classify all these strains as one genotype, which confirms the suggestion on the circulation of one subclone of the infective agent of cholera in the focus. As revealed in this investigation, the isolated strains are labile with respect to diagnostic phage eltor, while ctx+ strains are resistant to phage eltor ctx+.
