Epidemic complications in the territory of Gorno-Altai high-mountain natural plague focus, associated with increase in numbers of carriers and vectors of the dangerous diseases, entailed strengthening of preventive element in the system of epidemiological surveillance. Objective of the study was to assess the efficiency of disinsection and deratization during anti-epidemic campaign. Materials and methods. Investigations were performed in 2014-2017 in the territory of Kosh-Agach district of the Republic of Altai, based on the archival and operational records from Altai Plague Control Station, Rospotrebnadzor Administration in the Republic of Altai, and our own data. “Interactive Map on Management of Health Promotion Measures in Gorno-Altai high-mountain natural plague focus” was used as an assessment tool. Results and conclusions. The most hard-hitting sections of preventive complex as regards plague are still disinsection and deratization. Application of advanced methods and means of control over numbers of carriers and vectors of the infection testify to their high anti-epidemic effectiveness. Insecticide and rodenticide treatments of encampments situated in epizootic areas, disinsection and deratization in major population centers in the territory of the focus allowed for the reduction in risk of population infection. Technical efficiency of the field disinsection amounted to 96.7 %, community deratization and disinsection varied from 91.6 to 100 %. Emergency insecticide and rodent treatments in epizootic areas alongside other measures provided for epidemiological welfare on plague.
