[The effect of the technogenic pollution of the natural environment on the prevalence of parasitic diseases in the Republic of Byelarus].
The paper shows that in 1986-1995 a radiation area polluted with radionuclides at 15 qi/km2 was marked by 4.9-fold (from 3.9 to 19.1%) and 4.3-fold (from 2.2 to 9.4%) increases in infections with seat worms and lamblia, respectively. The infection rates for other helminthic species in 1995 do not greatly differ from those in 1986. In the area polluted with chemicals there was a steady-state decrease in the rates for intestinal parasites.
