[The epidemiological characteristics of diphyllobothriasis caused by Diphyllobothrium klebanovskii in the Amur River basin]. / Osobennosti épidemiologii difillobotrioza, vyzvannogo Diphyllobothrium klebanovskii v Priamur'e.

The diphyllobothriasis incidence in the workers of the Amur basin steamship company during 1980-1989 was studied. This rate was shown to be more than 6 times than that of other population (68.7 and 10.4 case per 100,000 person, respectively). The role of the workers of the company in the circulation of the invasion and prophylactic measures in the region were discussed.

[The sanitary parasitological characteristics of different sources of drinking water supply]. / Sanitarno-parazitologicheskaia kharakteristika razlichnykh istochnikov pit'evogo vodosnabzheniia.

In some CIS areas (Khabarovsk Territory, Moscow, Grodno, Odessa, Astrakhan, and Kzyl-Orda provinces), sewage, animal sewage, and sewage from the populated areas (82.3% of the samples tested), water in the surface reservoirs, sources of potable water supply (54.0%), and potable water (6.5%) were shown to contain viable agents of intestinal parasitic diseases, such as cysts of Lamblia and Balandia, eggs of ascarides, Trichuris trichiura, Diphyllobothrium, oncospheres of Taenia, etc.). This should be borne in mind in planning and implementing measures for sanitary protection of surface and underground potable water supply sources, recreational [correction of recreative] areas, for prevention of helminthiases and intestinal protozoan [correction of Proteus] infections.
