[Ecologo-epidemiologic characteristics of echinococcosis in the Irkutsk region].
Seroepidemiological screening of population of the Irkutsk region with regard to echinococciasis was preformed by RLA and RIHA. The last 26-year data on surgically confirmed echinococciasis cases were obtained at the local hospital. Relatively high invasion and disease rates were revealed in the forest-steppe natural areal complex population, the invasion agent circulating between dogs and sheep. Invasion and disease rates in taiga were low. Problems of low invasion foci tension are discussed.
