title: [The typical structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its relationship with an epidemic process and epizooties in Daghestan].
abstract: When Mycobacteria tuberculosis isolated from the sputums of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Daghestan were typed, the proportion of the bovine type mycobacteria was found to 20.5% in 1977-1978; that was 8.9% after long-term health-promoting measures in 1989 and 24.8%; after a decade of decreased measures in 1997-1998. The epidemiology and epizooty of tuberculosis in the region were closely interrelated and intensified each other. The proportion of bovine mycobacteria isolated from patients with tuberculosis is one of the sensitive indices of the epidemic situation in the region. Tuberculosis control measures in cattle-breeding regions should be implemented in a close contact and interaction of health care and veterinary facilities.
