[The theory and practice of epidemic control support for armed forces personnel]
Abstract:
Taking into account the theory of self-regulation of parasitic systems the authors analyse the basic trends of reformation of antiepidemic work in the Army and Navy. The article discusses the necessity of a wide use of methods of epidemiological diagnostics, social-hygienic monitoring, screening tests on pathogenicity of actual infectious agents and immune resistance of personnel. It will be possible to make a transition to a differentiated prophylaxis and struggle with actual infections taking into account the local territory, time and risk groups on the basis of principles of epidemiological supervision which is substantiated by the theory of self-regulation of parasitic systems. It will make it possible to optimize the antiepidemic work, to increase the quality and the effectiveness of antiepidemic measures, and thus, obtain best economic results.

The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...
