[Main achievements in the study of immunology of helminthiasis].

Analysis of available literature has shown a considerable progress in the research of the immunology of helminthoses during recent years. In the Soviet Union the study of this problem is carried out, though to a lesser extent, in the same directions as in other countries. They are as follows: 1. study of manifestation, degree of intensity and mechanisms of immunity; 2. study of antigenic structure of helminths as a basis for a purposeful search of methods of cleaning antigenes from ballast matters and criterium of taxonomy; 3. elaboration of methods for immunodiagnostics of helminthoses; 4. use of immunological methods for a study of epidemiology of helminthoses (seroepidemiology); 5. study of immunopathology.

[Seroepidemiologic studies in helminthiasis].

Epidemiological parameters subjected to variations corresponding to immunological structure of population are outlined on the basis of brief characteristics of immunity specificity in helminthiasis patients. Main trends in seroepidemiological studies are established. Authors analyzed the feasibility of assessment of some constituents of epidemic processes of various nosoforms by means of serological screening at the population level.
