title: [The specific features of Diphyllobothrium latum circulation in the natural foci of the Kostroma region].
abstract: Three hundred pikes in the Kostroma section of the Gorky Reservoir, in the Kostroma Overflow, and in the Galich and Chukloma Lakes were examined for infection with Diphyllobothrium latum larvae. In the Kostroma section of the Gorky Reservoir and in the Kostroma Overflow, diphyllobothriasis was recorded in 66.7% (12/18) and 14.7% (11/75) of the pikes, respectively. The high intensity of the epidemic process in diphyllobothriasis was confirmed in the Kostroma Region. The number of notified cases was noted to tend to increase: 35 and 173 cases in 1994 and 1999, respectively.
