[Zoonotic infections in the central and southern ulusy of the Republic of Sakha]. / Zoonoznye infektsii v tsentral'nykh i iuzhnykh ulusakh Respubliki Sakha.

The serological survey of humans, as well as agricultural animals and rodents, for the presence of zoonotic infections, was carried out. Local inhabitants were shown to have contacts with the causative agents of pseudotuberculosis, enteric yersiniosis, tularemia, leptospirosis, Q fever, tick-borne rickettsiosis, chlamydiosis, toxoplasmosis. The immune stratum with respect to enteric yersiniosis was found to have a greater index, while the immune strata with respect to chlamydiosis, Q fever, pseudotuberculosis had the least indices. However, the indices of immune strata perceptibly varied in individual regions. The highest occurrence of antibodies to all above-mentioned zoonotic infections was registered in Megino-Kangalasskii, Amga and Neriungrinskii ulusy [correction of regions]. The probable sources of leptospirosis, toxoplasmosis and Q fever were agricultural animals, while the probable sources of enteric yersiniosis and leptospirosis were rodents.
