title: [The cholera outbreak in one of the central regions of Dagestan].
abstract: The data on the epidemiological analysis of cholera cases in the epicenter of this infection in the Daghestan, viz. in the village of Gerga, Kaiakent District, are presented. The outbreak of cholera was due to the import of this infection by pilgrims from their hajj to Saudi Arabia. The causative agent of the outbreak was the epidemic variant of V. cholerae eltor Ogawa. Everyday contacts were the main route of the transmission and spread of this infection, the water factor playing an insignificant role. Two epidemic waves of cholera were registered in Gerga, each of them provoked the penetration of the infection to other regions of the Republic of Daghestan.
