title: [The structure of populations of the causative agents of infectious diseases and the mechanism of the development of the epidemic process].
abstract: The parameters of clonality and preservation capacity, characterizing the population structure of the causative agents of infectious diseases, have been worked out on the basis of the clonal concept and the concept of self-restructuring of microbial populations. Different correlations between these parameters determine the existence of 9 independent groups of infections. The mechanisms and manifestations of the epidemic process of these infections have been described and the priority directions of anti-epidemic measures formulated.
