INCIDENCE OF LARVAL HELMINTHIASIS IN THE POPULATION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Abstract

In the structure of parasitic diseases, helminthiasis traditionally accounts for about 90%. Among them, a special role belongs to larval or tissue helminthiasis. In order to further predict the level of endemic helminthiases in specific administrative territories and develop appropriate proposals for planning and implementing preventive and antiepidemic measures, an analysis of the incidence of larval helminthiases in the population was carried out. The data of official statistics (information on infectious and parasitic diseases – form No. 2) on the incidence of larval helminthiases in the period 2016– 2020, as well as maps of epidemiological survey of cases of echinococcosis, trichinosis, toxocariasis and dirofilariasis, received by the Reference Center by monitoring of larval helminthiases, functioning on the basis of the FBSI "Rostov Research Institute of Microbiology and Parasitology" of Rospotrebnadzor. It is noted that the most unfavorable administrative territories in terms of the incidence of larval helminthiases are currently: echinococcosis – the territories of the North Caucasus, Volga and Ural federal districts; toxocariasis – the territories of the Ural and Siberian federal districts, trichinosis – the territories of the Siberian and Far Eastern federal districts. Dirofilariasis was recorded more often in the territories of the Southern and Volga federal districts.
