title: [The routes of the spread of cholera in the Shamil'skiĭ Mountain District of Dagestan].
abstract: The routes of the spread of cholera were analyzed in 273 patients and Vibrio carriers during the outbreak of cholera in a mountainous region of Daghestan during the period of July 18 to September 4, 1994. Cholera was found to spread mainly after funeral repasts and condolence visits accompanied by the dispensation of foodstuffs, transmission being realized through alimentary and contact routes. Under the conditions of the absence of the centralized water supply system in mountain villages and the contamination of water in open reservoirs it was found to be expedient to use, in addition to the recommended complex of antiepidemic measures, small automatic filtration units.
