[State of the natural foci of tularemia in the eastern part of the Northern Caucasian region].
The short characterization of the territory, known to contain the natural foci of tularemia, in the eastern part of the foothill area of the Caucasus is presented. The Caspian plain-foothill focus and the Terek-Kuma focus were shown to be the most dangerous among these foci. The severe outbreak of tularemia took place in the Terek-Kuma focus in 1999. Local epizootic could be stopped here only after the appearance of patients with clinical manifestations of tularemia. The epizootological survey of the territory for tularemia in 3 natural foci of Daghestan and in the natural focus of the Caucasian foothill area is carried out in an insufficient volume due to the complicated socio-political situation in the Chechen Republic and the insufficient financial support of the work on the study of the foci.
