[Detection and characteristics of foci of arbovirus infection in the Kazakh region]. / Vyiavlenie i kharakteristika ochagov arbovirusnykh infektsii Kazakhskogo regiona.

ABSTRACT

Complex studies carried out on the territory of Kazakhstan have allowed one to detect arboviruses, heretofore unknown in the republic, to determine their role in human infectious pathology and to obtain additional data on the ecology of viruses causing tick-borne encephalitis and Crimean hemorrhagic fever under the conditions of different geographical zones in the republic. On the basis of the results thus obtained the map indicating the spread of arbovirus infections and their causative agents on the territory of the Kazakh SSR has been drawn. This map may serve as a practical aid in organizing antiepidemic measures.
