[Modern views on the epidemiology of legionellosis: operations procedure during epidemic outbreaks and preventive monitoring].
Key aspects of legionellosis epidemiology determining the rising role of Legionella in human infectious diseases in conditions of postindustrial community were discussed. It was shown that formation of Legionella biofilms on potentially dangerous water objects with possible further aerosol or aspiration transmission of microorganisms leads to major epidemic outbreaks and sporadic cases of infection. Main principles of actions during preventive monitoring of Legionella in the environment and epidemic outbreaks of legionellosis were described.
