Perspectives of cooperation of CMEA countries in combatting influenza

Results of cooperation of CMEA countries in combatting influenza on the basis of coordination of studies for 1977-1979 are presented. The most important result is the creation of prerequisites for setting up fundamentally new tasks in the development of long-term cooperation of CMEA countries in combatting influenza. The principles of common strategy and tactics of combatting influenza have been formulated for all these countries. The problems of standardization of the preparations, integration of their production, general methodological approaches to their use and evaluation, the complex character of applying contemporary means of combatting influenza on limited territories, and others, are discussed. The most important scientific tasks in the sphere of development and evaluation of the effectiveness of new anti-influenza preparations have been formulated.
