[Cholera in Ukraine and Moldova during the 7th pandemic].
The epidemic manifestations of cholera in the Ukraine and Moldova in 1970-1991 are analyzed. In the Ukraine the peak of cholera morbidity in 1970 was caused by infection brought to the ports of Odessa and Kerch with its subsequent spread to other territories. This infection was characterized by outbreaks transmitted through water, mainly sea water, with the isolation of Vibrio eltor toxigenic virulent strains and outbreaks of vibrio carriership of alimentary (dairy) origin with the isolation of avirulent strains. In Moldova local outbreaks of water origin were registered in 1970-1972. In both territories prolonged (up to 16 years and even longer) circulation of cholera vibrios, mainly nontoxigenic and avirulent, were registered. The retrospective epidemiological analysis and the epidemiological situation in some regions of the Ukraine in 1991 completely confirmed the prognostic importance of the division of territories into regions according to the type of epidemiological manifestations and the necessity of differentiating the measures to be taken in the system of epidemiological surveillance.
