title: [Problems of epidemiology and diagnostics of leptospiroses in Siberia and Far East].
abstract: Multi-year literature data as well as materials of the Reference centre of monitoring of natural foci infections of Irkutsk Research Institute of Plague Control of Siberia and the Far East regarding epidemiology, epizootology and laboratory diagnostics of leptospiroses in Siberia and the Far East are analyzed and summarized in the review. Situation on leptospiroses in the region has changed significantly. In 50 - 70s of the 20th century diseases were registered ubiquitously in the form of outbreaks, group and single cases. Currently a low level of sporadic morbidity is noted in separate subjects of the Russian Federation. The contemporary state of the problem remains insufficiently clear, this demands the expansion of studies, creation of modern databases, as well as introduction into the practice of highly sensitive methods of express diagnostics in a complex with bacteriologic and serologic methods.
