[Organization of supervision of tick-borne encephalitis and ways of its prevention in the Russian Federation].
The paper presents the data characterizing the epidemiological situation associated with tick-borne virus encephalitis (TBVE) in the Russian Federation in 2006. There is a 22.7% reduction in morbidity as compared with 2005; however, the situation is considered to be of strain; a rise in the incidence of TBVE is recorded in a number of subjects of the Russian Federation. There is a high activity of natural and anthropurgic foci of TBVE; there are as many as 250 recourses to a doctor for tick bites. In some regions, tick virus carriage has been established at 13-29%. TBVE vaccination coverage is quite insufficient; in many cases emergency prophylaxis is not made due to the fact that specific immunoglobulin is in short supply whereas some areas continue to unwarrantedly inject a serum for lack of rapidly tick virus-determining laboratories. There are essential faults in the organization of acaricidal measures and in the propaganda of knowledge of personal TBVE prophylaxis in the population. Tasks for increasing the level of comprehensive prophylaxis are defined to substantially reduce TBVE morbidity in the Russian Federation.
