Reply of the author of the article "On the epidemiology of diphyllobothriasis in the TASSR"

Abstract

Pointing in the article that until 1963 a mass survey of the TASSR population for infection with a broad tapeworm was not carried out, I meant a survey of the population covering all age groups and professions, which would allow for a fairly complete analysis of the incidence. Although the SES laboratories and other medical institutions in the TASSR conduct hundreds of thousands of helminthological studies annually, this applies mainly to limited contingents (workers in food and trade facilities, organized children's groups, etc.). Therefore, the results of these studies do not give a complete picture of the incidence and allow us to think about greater well-being than it really is.
