Complete genome sequences of four virulent rabies virus strains isolated from rabid animals in Russia.

Rabies virus (RABV) strains Rus(Lipetsk)-8052f, Rus(Lipetsk)-8053c, Rus(Lipetsk)-8054f, and Rus(Lipetsk)-8057f were isolated from foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and a cat (Felis catus) in the Lipetsk region of Russia in 2011. Close relationships between these strains and the members of the "Cosmopolitan" group from Russia (98% homology) and from Europe (95% homology) were estimated.

[Organization of monitoring of electromagnetic radiation in the urban environment].

The authors describe new current approaches to monitoring the environment, including the sources of electromagnetic radiation and noise. Electronic maps of the area under study are shown to be made, by constructing the isolines or distributing the actual levels of controlled factors. These current approaches to electromagnetic and acoustic monitoring make it possible to automate a process of measurements, to analyze the established situation, and to simplify the risk controlling methodology.

[Analysis of occupational morbidity causes among workers of Lipetsk region]. / Analiz prichin professional'noi zabolevaemosti trudiashchikhsia Lipetskoi oblasti.

Higher occupational morbidity is not invariably a negative factor, sometimes being an indicator of good diagnostics and registration of occupational diseases, aimed to realize constitutional right for compensation of health damage caused by hazardous work conditions.

[Method of determination of ecologically induced actual risk for human health and the degree of stress in medical and ecological situations]. / Metodika opredeleniia ékologicheski obuslovlennogo real'nogo riska zdorov'iu liudei i stepeni napriazhennosti mediko-ékologicheskoi situatsii.

Lipetsk town area was ranked according to maximal or minimal actual risk for public health (with consideration of medical and ecologic situation if influenced by technogenic hazards. That ranking enables to suggest municipal measures aimed at protection of population of ecologic hazards.

[The use of personal computers by virologists specializing in viral hepatitis]. / Ispol'zovanie personal'nogo komp'iutera v prakticheskoi rabote vracha-virusologa po razdelu "virusnye gepatity".

Analysis of the tasks of a virological laboratory as regards viral hepatitis helped the authors validate the requirements to computer provision and develop a program "Hepatitis" which permits the creation of a reliable data bank on subjects screened for viral hepatitis, offers a comprehensive highly qualified analysis, and saves time needed for file registration and making reports. The program is addressed to virology laboratories of sanitary epidemiological, therapeutic, and research institutions.
