title: [The epidemiology of cholera in Derbent District. The characteristics of the epidemic process].
abstract: Cases of cholera in the Derbent District of the Daghestan took predominantly mild and moderate clinical forms. The ratio of patients to Vibrio carriers was 1:1.25. The etiological agent of the epidemic was V. eltor, serovar Ogawa. Cholera patients were of greater epidemiological importance as the sources of infection in comparison with Vibrio carriers. Carrier state after convalescence was observed in 1.1% of cases. The population was infected with cholera, as a rule, through everyday contacts and in more rare cases by the water route. The highest rate of contamination with V. cholerae was registered in the age group of 0-2 years.
