ANALYSIS OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE INCIDENCE OF DIPHYLLOBOTHRIASIS IN SIBERIAN FEDERAL DISTRICT AND IRKUTSK REGION

Abstract

The article presents the comparative analysis of the incidence of diphyllobothriasis in the Siberian Federal District and the Irkutsk  Region, and the peculiarities of its epidemiology in the Irkutsk  Region. On the basis of in-depth study of the structure of  diphyllobothriasis foci functioning on the territory of Irkutsk Region,  the zoning of the territory was carried out according to the degree of risk of contamination with diphyllobothriidae. The categories of the  population of various age groups exposed to invasion is defined, and  dynamics of morbidity within groups is analyzed. The analysis  revealed a distinctive feature of the Irkutsk Region, which is  expressed in a greater proportion of children among the sick people compared to other regions of the Siberian Federal District and the lowest incidence reduction rates among this group. The question  of reorientation of preventive and explanatory work with the  population, taking into account the identified data, is raised. The  cases are also considered on the basis of belonging to the rural or  urban population; among the rural population, the incidence is  almost twice as high. The analysis of morbidity in some territories of  the Irkutsk Region was carried out on the basis of an integral  indicator, which was carried out by ranking individual territories  according to the degree of infection of the population, areas with low, medium, high and very high levels of morbidity were allocated.
