[Epidemic focus of Q fever in a rural location in the Suceava district]. / Focar epidemic de febra Q într-o locatitate rurala din judetul Suceava.

A Q fever epidemic focus with 46 cases was detected in a rural locality among the workmen of livestock farms. In 33 cases, the subclinical and inapparent form of the disease was detected by serologic tests, performed in the focus. Complement fixation antibody titers persisting in very high titers, a retrospective diagnosis of infection may be established even 3-4 months after the onset of the disease.

[Epidemiological study of salmonelloses in the Moldavia area]. / Contributii la studiul epidemiologic al salmonelozelor pe teritoriul Moldovei.

A study was carried out on the epizooto-epidemiologic potential of certain domestic and wild animal species (cold-blooded), of the environment (residual waters) and food products, and their role in maintaining Salmonella endemics (others than the typhoid-parathyphoid group). Account was kept of the incidence of Salmonella and its circulation in subjects exposed to occupational risks and in the mass of the population, including those with clinically manifest salmonellosis and the clinically healthy carriers. The results showed the importance of domestic animals in maintaining the endemic (fowl 15%, swine 10%, bovine 5%). The isolated serotypes were identical to those found in residual eaters, in patients and in carriers. The sensitivity test to antibiotics revealed resistance to more than two antibiotics in 65%, except for the strains isolated from reptiles. Reorganization measures appear necessary in order to restrict the circulation of Salmonella in farm animals and to reduce the risks of infection in humans.
