DEVELOPMENT OF VIEWS ON THE GEOGRAPHY OF HUMAN INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Abstract

Epidemiological geography is now evolving at a rapid pace. Whereas several decades ago investigators treated the problems on an isolated basis (these problems were generally of secondary importance in the study of the epidemiology and epizootiology of infections), many present-day Soviet epidemiological geographers are seeking to determine the factors underlying the distribution of human infectious diseases in the Soviet Union and elsewhere in order to assist in the eradication of these diseases as soon as possible.
