Assessment of the epidemic situation in the incidence of Siberian tick-borne typhus in the Altai Krai
The article presents the results of a retrospective epidemiological analysis of the incidence of the population of the Altai Territory by Siberian tick-borne typhus (STBT), which is endemic in this region of the Siberian Federal District. The epidemiological situation of STBT in the urban and rural areas of the region was assessed in the period from 2000 to 2017. Specific features of the incidence of STBT among adults and children's age cohorts of the population are determined. An assessment is made of the relationship between the trend in the dynamics of the incidence of STBT and the number of people who have suffered from tick bites.
