[(COMPARATIvE EVALUATION OF THE EFFICIENCY OF MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC SCANNING MICROSCOPY IN THE PARASITOLOGICAL STUDIES OF FOODSTUFFS)].

The paper gives the results of experimental studies, as well as sanitary parasitological ones investigating meat and fish, which have been performed using manual microscopy and Mecos-C2 automated digital microscopy and scanning micro- scopy. It shows the effectiveness of automated versus manual microscopy in performing parasitological studies of foods and the possibility of rationalizing production labor. The investigation has been conducted to develop the reform of labora- tory services of the healthcare system in the Russian Federation and proposes to introduce a hardware technology into a group of mass methods for parasitological analyses in sanitary-epidemiological, veterinary and environmental areas.

[(CHANGE IN THE DIAGNOSTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ANTIBODIES TO CYSTICERCUS CELL ULOSAE IN THE SERUM SAMPLE COLLECTION IN RELATION TO THE PERIOD OF STORAGE DURING DEEP FREEZING)].

The paper gives the results of experimental studies determining the preservation of antibodies to C.cellulosae in the serum in relation to the period of their storage during deep freezing. These studies, as applied to parasitic pathology, have been conducted for the first time and are of practical medical value in determining optimal procedures and periods of serum storage without a loss of their diagnostic characteristics.

[(TO UPDATE ENFORCEMENT PRACTICE IN ENSURING THE PARASITIC SAFETY OF ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTS. LEGAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONFLICTS: WAYS OF THEIR SOLUTION)].

The modern development of parasitological science and practice is integrated into the process of legal regulation of the protection of human rights and health and the environment. Russian Federation Government Enactment No. 761 dated September 28; 2009, determines a provision on examining the legal acts establishing the sanitary and epidemiological requirements for their compliance with the standards, recommendations, and other documents of international organiza- tions, including the World Health Organization [10]. The authors carried out a detailed analysis ofthe status of law enforce- ment practice in ensuring the safety of water to be free from parasites, the most studied and proven in international and national law. Factorization of national statutes on safe drinking water and water in the water sources identified legal in- consistencies in both different legal acts of the Russian Federation and their compliance with the WHO recommendations [12]. Ways to overcome legal and methodological conflicts and those to provide mechanisis of legal regulation in this area were defined. It is noted that the decision is a complex process that involves various levels of a structure of legislative initiatives and the professional public; however,,the end result is focused on the dynamic integration of national law in ensuring the parasitic safety of the environment in the unified field of international law.
