Current Epidemiological and Entomological Evaluation of Transmissible Fevers Dominating in the Astrakhan Region
The article deals with epidemiological and entomological features of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) and Astrakhan rickettsial fever (ARF) which are the most prevalent eruptive fevers in the Astrakhan region. We concluded that over activated anthropogenic factor had cumulative impact on the environment resulting in enlargement of area of CCHF and ARF carriers (Hyalomma marginatum and Rhipicephalus pumilio, respectively) and increase in number of cases of natural focal fevers.
