  • Title: [Hygienic issues related with prevention of parasitic diseases].
    Author: Romanenko NA.
    Journal: Gig Sanit; 2003; (3):16-8. PubMed ID: 12852031.
    Abstract:
    Data on a wide spread of parasitic diseases among Russia's population are presented in the article. The contamination of soil, water-reserves' surfaces, drinking water, foodstuffs and of household goods with helminth ovum and with cysts of intestinal pathogenic protozoa was shown to play the key role in the discussed process. Therefore, hygienic measures targeted at preservation, environmental sanitation and protection of the environment from causative agents of parasites that would reduce or expel the risk of new contaminations should be regarded as the key trend in preventing the parasitic diseases.
