The use of an improved complex of sanitary and health-promoting measures for children from 2 schools revealed that their infestation with pinworms among first-eleventh-form pupils from a boarding school was 42.6%, the above measures covering simultaneously them all with their subsequent repetition every 6 months allowed all the children to be free from pinworms. At school 8, the random use of these measures could reduce pinworm infestation to 4% of the children covered with health-promoting measures.

[The prognosis of the diphyllobothriasis situation in water reservoirs under construction (the Adyche and Sakhalin reservoirs)].

The investigations conducted in the construction area of Adyche and Sakhalin water reservoirs made it possible to work out the prognosis for the changes in the situation on diphyllobothriasis. In the area of Adyche water reservoir the population invasion with D. latum is likely to increase, while in the area of Sakhalin water reservoir the situation on D. klebanovskii sp. no. will remain unchanged.

[The helminthiasis situation in areas of the influence of water storage basins on the territory of Cherkassy Province].

The situation with helminthiases has been studied on the right tributaries of the Dnieper, the upper reaches of Kremenchug storage pond and in the storage ponds of the South Bug basin. The existence of genuine opisthorchiasis foci in Kremenchug storage pond is at present impossible due to the absence of Codiella mollusks. Fish of the carp family is infected in the right tributaries of the Dnieper. No diphyllobothriasis foci have been identified in the upper reaches of Kremenchug storage pond. Opisthorchiasis and diphyllobothriasis foci have not been identified in storage ponds of the South Bug basin and the formation of such foci in this area is not expected in the future. The population infectivity with geohelminthiases in these storage pond areas remained unchanged.

[Opisthorchiasis at left Dnieper watersheds].

Present state of opisthorchosis infestation in the Dnieper watershed (rivers Vorskla, Psyol, Khorol, Sula, Seym, Snov, Desna water basins), situated in the Sumy, Chernigov, and Poltava regions of the Ukraine, is assessed. 7909 humans from 37 villages, 94 cats, 1134 carp fishes, 20013 mollusca and 30 soil samples were screened for the presence of Opisthorchis eggs. Opisthorchosis foci with an over 36% infection rate of population remain in the watersheds of the Dnieper left confluents (rivers Desna, Seym, Vorskla and Khorol). Infestation rate varies between various rivers as well as along one and the same river which is due to several ecological and social factors. Opisthorchis circulation is established at all the rivers but in most areas it didn't involve human population. Distribution pattern of human opisthorchosis in evidently focal and patchy which should be taken into account in the planning and implementation of opisthorchosis control measures.
