ABSTRACT
The paper presents the results of theoretical and practical studies into parasitology, which were conducted at the E.I.Martsinovsky Institute of Medical Parasitology, Tropical and Vector-Borne Diseases and then used for the training of specialists with higher medical education at the Department of Tropical Medicine and Parasitic Diseases, I.M.Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University. The need to develop professional skills is related to the increasing learning require- ments due to socioeconomic conditions and the epidemiological situation in the country.

The sharply increased incidence and geographical expansion of arbovirus diseases in recent years suggest that some Russian areas are vulnerable to vector-borne diseases and that it is important to elaborate control programs to ensure bio- logical safety in our country. Moreover, the main vectors of the pathogens of arbovirus infections (Zika fever, dengue fever, chikungunya fevers), such as Aedes aegypti and Ae.albopictus, have been registered on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. The programs must be effective, by taking into account the biological features of each kind of a vector.

There is evidence that in the Black Sea coastal area, Ae.albopictus mosquitoes are encountered everywhere from N. Afon to Dzhubga over a length of 250 km of the coast and Ae.aegypti ones are from N. Afon to Agoi, Tuapse District (215 km). The Ae.albopictus mosquitoes have extended 44 km in length and 600 m in height in the eastern part of the coast (Krasnaya Polyana).
