[The epidemiological efficacy of opisthorchiasis control measures in Dnieper River basin foci].

The authors assess the epidemiologic efficacy of wide-scale antiopisthorchiasis measures taken in the basin of the Dnepr River in 1984-1990. The structure of the population morbidity and the time course of this morbidity under the effect of a complex of measures taken were analyzed in low-, medium, and highly-endemic foci of the disease. Hygienic education and adequate detection and treatment of the invaded subjects were found to be the principal factors contributing to sanitation of the population.

[The helminthiasis situation in areas of the influence of water storage basins on the territory of Cherkassy Province].

The situation with helminthiases has been studied on the right tributaries of the Dnieper, the upper reaches of Kremenchug storage pond and in the storage ponds of the South Bug basin. The existence of genuine opisthorchiasis foci in Kremenchug storage pond is at present impossible due to the absence of Codiella mollusks. Fish of the carp family is infected in the right tributaries of the Dnieper.
