[The division of the territory of Azerbaijan into districts by hydatid echinococcosis]. / Raionirovanie territorii Azerbaidzhana po gidatidoznomu ékhinokokkozu.

The epizootiological and epidemiological stratification of the territory of Azerbaijan on hydatid disease was made. Four zones were identified as low, moderately, highly and extremely endemic. These zones are differentiated from their climatic and social conditions for echinococcosis distribution, human incidence and prevalence, canine and ovine number and prevalence, and the time of survival of echinococcus eggs in the soil. The most intensive disease control measures are recommended in mountainous regions of the Small Caucasus.

[The effect of winter pasturing in animal husbandry on the level of morbidity from unilocular hydatid disease]. / Vliianie otgonnogo zhivotnovodstva na uroven' zabolevaemosti odnokamernym ékhinokokkozom.

Winter pasturing in [correction of Ontogonic] animal farming typical of mountain regions highly endemic for echinococcosis effects the epidemiological situation in the low lands that are not highly endemic. This is particularly marked in settlements located near the routes of cattle driving and winter pastures, which leads to higher echinococcosis morbidity of the local population as assessed by the results of serological tests.
