[The epidemiology of Yersinia infections in the central taiga subzone of the eastern European plain].
The seroepidemiological survey of the population in four southern regions of the Komi Republic for the presence of pseudotuberculosis and enteric yersiniosis was carried out. The survey revealed a high level of seroconversions to with respect to enteric yersiniosis (26.2 +/- 2.7% with the average antibody titer being 2.6 +/- 0.2 log2) and rare contacts of the rural population with Y. pseudotuberculosis (0.4%). Moreover, the intensity of contacts of the population with the infective agent was found to be closely related to the type of cattle breeding farms: the highest level of the immune stratum (32.2%) was registered among those persons whose residence was situated near large cattle breeding complexes. The prevalence of Y. enterocolitica, serovar 0:5, has been noted: to this serovar 87% of all positive reactions were obtained. The study of medical histories revealed that is some cases the disease manifested itself in the form of acute gastroenteritis.
