title: [REGULARITIES OF THE MANIFESTATIONS OF AN EPIDEMIC PROCESS IN THE HYPERENDEMIC OPISTHORCHIASIS FOCUS OF WESTERN SIBERIA].
abstract: Studies of long-term opisthorchiasis changes have first established trends in the development of a present-day epidemic process in the hyperendemic area and seasonal morbidity trends and structure and identified contingents at the highest risk for infection. The risk of opisthorchiasis was comprehensively assessed from the varying intensities of epizootic and epidemic processes in the region's areas; the role of natural and social factors was revealed; the parasitic system function patterns that made it possible to elaborate a unified epidemiological surveillance system were established.
