title: Geoinformational mapping of foci of Siberian tick-borne rickettsiosis in Altai Krai.
abstract: The high rate of Siberian tick-borne rickettsiosis morbidity in Altai Krai calls for research into its causation as well as public heath concern. We constructed a thematic map to assess the medical-geographical situation, reveal disease foci, and define the risk level in the geographical regions covered.
