Abstract

The article discusses the results of ultrasound examination (ultrasound), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), studies for the presence of specific antibodies, the results of a survey of the population of 7 districts (8823 people) and assessment of the behavioral risk factor for infection with echinococcosis of the population of the Osh region of the Kyrgyz Republic (KR). According to the results of ELISA, 12.0 0.3% (1060) were positive, and by ultrasound 8.0 0.4% (703). Invasion by alveococcosis was detected more often by both ultrasound and ELISA – 334 ± 0,3% (3.78%) and 74.3 ± 0.4% (788), respectively. The most endemic region turned out to be Alai, where the infestation rate of the examined persons was – 50.2 ± 0.9% (771) out of 1535. The risk group were children under 14 years of age – 74.3 ± 0.4% (788). The formation and preservation of foci of echinococcosis is facilitated by: non-compliance by the population with the rules for keeping pets, 83% of respondents keep dogs freely, 85% do not clean up after dogs, 57% of adults have contact with dogs, and 63% of children play with them. Only 49% of respondents use the services of a veterinarian and deworm dogs: 70% do it once a year, 20% do it 2, 3 and rarely 4 times a year.

Keywords:
