[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.

[Sanitary-helminthological status of urban environment in the foci of animal helminthiasis]. / Sanitarno-gel'mintologicheskoe sostoianie vneshnei sredy v ochagakh zoogel'mintozov v usloviiakh gorodskikh aglomeratsii.

As result of sanitary-helminthological studies it has been found out, that under the conditions of urban agglomeration a great number of dogs, their uncontrolled maintenance and access to various objects induce intensive environmental pollution with zoohelminthologic causative agents and provides a high risk of infection of the population with causative agents of such diseases as toxocariasis++ and echinococcosis. Adherence to sanitary-veterinary rules of dogs maintenance prevents to a significant degree dispersion of the invasion matter in the environment.

[The distribution of ABO system blood groups in patients with unilocular echinococcosis]. / Raspredelenie grupp krovi sistemy ABO u bol'nykh odnokamernym ékhinokokkozom.

The distribution of the AB0 blood groups was investigated in 624 patients with echinococcosis operated on and in 579 persons whose sera were subjected to IHAT with echinococcosis diagnosticum. Higher disease incidence was recorded in patients with the A (II) blood, especially in males, as compared to the controls. Simultaneous involvement of the liver, lungs and other organs was more common in them. Rh-positive patients predominated both in the A (II) and control groups. Blood group distribution with regard to IHAT findings failed to reveal any regular features.
