The spread of brucella infection under modern conditions of cattle breeding were studied with the foci in the Rostov region taken as an example. The main epidemiological features and tendencies of epidemiological importance were established. To find out specific antigen in different environmental objects, the approbation of the enzyme immunoassay test systems was carried out and the possibility of their use at the institutions of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological inspection was shown.

Materials on the import of rarely occurring Vibrio cholerae, not belonging to group O1 of serovar O139, to the territory of Russia are presented. The clinical picture of a cholera case is described and the biological properties of V. cholerae, serovar O139, are presented. A suggestion has been made concerning the appearance of a new V. cholerae serovar, capable of ousting V. cholerae eltor, the cause of the seventh pandemic.

As the result of the complex clinico-laboratory examination of 265 cattle breeders working on 5 farms where cases of brucellosis among agricultural animals had been detected, 62 persons (21.8%) were found to have the positive reaction to brucellosis. A strikingly high proportion (38.3%) of infected persons was found among the workers of a cattle-feeding complex. Out of 62 persons with the positive reaction to brucellosis, 32 had different clinical manifestations of the disease. Treatment for all persons who needed it was organized, the rest were placed under dispensary observation. Regular complex clinico-laboratory examinations of cattle breeders to brucellosis were recommended.
