Seroepidemiological study of native inhabitants of the Chukotka Autonomous District for trichinosis

: The 2010 seroepidemiological study of sera from 259 inhabitants of two settlements located on the shore of the Chukchi Sea revealed 63 (24.32%) seropositive respondents, which suggests the intensity of an epidemic process in these populated areas. The detection of specific antibodies in the population to the pathogen of trichinosis is of great importance for the objective assessment of the epidemic situation in the foci of invasion and the prediction of sporadically occurring epidemics of this anthropozoonosis.
