Dynamics of Leptospiroses Morbidity in the Federal Districts of the Russian Federation

Abstract

A retrospective epidemiologic analysis of leptospiroses for the period from 2001 to 2006 revealed the most intensive morbidity in the Southern, Central and Volga Districts with their mean intensive indices being 1.7+0.3, 1.0+0.3, 0.8+0.4, their respective portions of the total sickness rate for Russia constituting 31.5, 27.6, 25.5 percent respectively. A tendency to decreased leptospiroses morbidity was observed in all seven federal districts and in the Russian Federation as a whole.
