A study was made of the natural resistance status in inhabitants of Kiev over ten years after the Chernobyl power plant accident. The results obtained showed that small doses of ionizing radiation exert a negative effect on the body inducing morphological changes in leucocytes, lowering the blood absolute content of large granule-containing lymphocytes, causing decline in the level of natural killer activity, changes in leucocyte as well as lymphocyte counts. In inhabitants of Kiev, post-Chernobyl changes in the studied parameters-tend to get more pronounced with time.

The Caspiinae comprise small gastropod species inhabiting low-salinity environments of the Pontocaspian region, specifically the Caspian Sea and the limans, estuaries and lower river reaches of the northern Black Sea Basin. There is considerable discrepancy in the literature as to which taxa are attributed to this hydrobiid subfamily, which of them are valid and what rank they have. Moreover, the generic classification is not agreed upon.

Variants in recombination-activating genes () are common genetic causes of autosomal recessive forms of combined immunodeficiencies (CID) ranging from severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), Omenn syndrome (OS), leaky SCID, and CID with granulomas and/or autoimmunity (CID-G/AI), and even milder presentation with antibody deficiency. We aim to estimate the incidence, clinical presentation, genetic variability, and treatment outcome with geographic distribution of patients with the defects in populations inhabiting South, West, and East Slavic countries. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected from -deficient patients of Slavic origin via chart review, retrospectively.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAnalysis of genetic diversity represents a fundamental component of ecological risk assessments in contaminated environments. Many studies have assessed the genetic implications of chronic radiation exposure at Chernobyl, generally recording an elevated genetic diversity and mutation rate in rodents, plants, and birds inhabiting contaminated areas. Only limited studies have considered genetic diversity in aquatic biota at Chernobyl, despite the large number of freshwater systems where elevated dose rates will persist for many years.
