[Live enteroviral vaccines for the emergency nonspecific prevention of mass respiratory diseases during fall-winter epidemics of influenza and acute respiratory diseases].

The results of the 3-year controlled trials of a new method of nonspecific urgent prophylaxis of influenza and acute respiratory diseases (ADR) by immunization of healthy adults with standard live enterovirus oral vaccines, introduced in 2-3 administrations at intervals of 7-10 days, at the initial stages of autumn and winter epidemics are presented. Observations, carried out in three republics, covered more than 150,000 persons immunized with enterovirus interferonogenic vaccines. A considerable decrease in morbidity rate among the vaccinees was achieved (on the average, by 3.

[Cartographic method in the epidemiological study of infections and infestations. III. The study of patterns of tetanus spread in relation to edaphic factors].

The conjugate analysis of the address map, the density chart and the map of the density field of tetanus morbidity with the soil map has revealed that this morbidity is linked with the properties of the soil. The map of the density field has proved to be most suitable for such analysis. Morbidity is unevenly distributed over the territory.

[Mapping method in the epidemiological study of infections and infestations. II. Soil characteristics in localities permanently at risk for anthrax].

Investigations carried out with the use of the mapping method have revealed that the distribution of localities with stationary unfavorable situation in anthrax throughout the area is linked with the agrochemical properties of soils. The number of the foci of anthrax on neutral and weakly alkaline soils has proved to be considerably higher than in soils with low pH values. No relationship between the content of humus in soils and the distribution of localities with stationary unfavorable situation in anthrax throughout the area has been detected.
