title: [Q fever in the Mordvinian ASSR].
abstract: In the serological (CFT) examination of patients with elevated temperature for Q fever positive results were obtained in 8.2--14% of cases. The number of positive results of the CFT in rural districts was higher (16%) than in urban districts (10.2%). A considerable percentage of positive results was observed among the workers of a meat-packing plant (25%) and among persons who regularly received milk at their work as a special diet (25--39.2%). In the Mordovian ASSR the infection seemed to be transmitted mainly by the alimentary and contact ways.
