[Significance of Salmonella serovars and the biological properties of the causative agents in the epidemic process in salmonelloses].

Analysis of the manifestations of the epidemic process of Salmonella infections with regard to the serovar and biological properties of salmonellae has made it possible to find out the specific epidemiological properties of salmonellosis caused by S. typhimurium and to suggest that under present-day conditions salmonellosis of this etiology frequently acquires the features of a human disease, which is necessary to take into consideration in planning the measures for controlling these infections.

[Epidemiological problems of ozena and the means for controlling this infection].

Clinical, bacteriological, serological and epidemiological studies of ozena morbidity among the population of Minsk were carried out in 1970-1980. On January 1, 1981, the ozena morbidity rate among the inhabitants of Minsk was 26.72%. Ozena was found to affect mainly children and women. A wide spread of the family foci of this disease (31.68%) was revealed. The results of this study indicate that the source of K. ozaenae is a sick person who begins to excrete the bacteria in the prodromal period of the disease and may continue to excrete them for many years. The transfer of K. ozaenae occurs probably by droplet or contact infection. The droplet infection is less active in the absence of symptoms (coughing, sneezing) facilitating excretion of the infective agent into the air and in cases of the low susceptibility of persons to ozena. The main measures for controlling ozena are the timely detection and sanitation of the sources of ozena, as well as the current disinfection of the infection foci in apartments.
