title: [The manifestations of the epidemic process in shigellosis and their theoretical interpretation].
abstract: This work, based on the retrospective analysis of shigellosis morbidity among organized groups of adults, as well as the whole population of the city, demonstrates the manifestations of the epidemic process. Water supply was common in the city, while water consumption was autonomous. The organized groups of adults did not use the products of the local milk-processing factory. The following facts were established. The dynamics of morbidity in Flexner's dysentery showed the change of dominating variants of the infective agent, which reflected the action of internal mechanisms of the development of the epidemic process. The role of Sonne dysentery in the total structure of shigellosis morbidity did not correlate with the consumption of milk and milk products. The theory of the self-regulation of the parasitic system and the theory of correspondence served as the basis for the theoretical interpretation of the manifestations of the epidemic process of Shigella infections. To ascertain the real correspondence of individual Shigella species to concrete transmission factors, further investigation are necessary.
