PROBLEMS OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL GEOGRAPHY. REPORT 8. STRUCTURE OF A ZOONOSIS NOSOAREAL

Abstract

When studying the geography of zoonotic diseases of man, it is important to separate out the areas of interaction between the populations of the causative agent and the collectives of people, in order to carry out complex anti-epidemic measures. It is primarily these areas of interaction which are the main structural units of a zoonosis nosoareal. Since human incidence is concentrated mainly within the limits of such areas of interaction, they can be defined as nosofoci. Designated as nosofoci should be those populated concrete geographical territories of a human collective, which on the strength of specific conditions of material life interact with the populations of the zoonosis causative agent.
