[Principles of epidemiologic and epizootologic research in foci of brucellosis]. 1977

I F Taran

Principles of epidemiological and epizootological investigations in a brucellosis focus are presented in this work. A founded determination of a focus and methodological approaches to its study and systematization of the data concerning all the foci of a definite administrative territory is given. Also approaches to the realization of out-patient observation over the population in the brucellosis foci are characterized. The author believes that only such scientifically founded and all-round approach to the study of epizootological and epidemiological regularities of the brucellosis foci existence would aid successful solution of the most important problems pertinent to reduction of brucellosis incidence among humans.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D012053	Reindeer	A genus of deer, Rangifer, that inhabits the northern parts of Europe, Asia, and America. Caribou is the North American name; reindeer, the European. They are often domesticated and used, especially in Lapland, for drawing sleds and as a source of food. Rangifer is the only genus of the deer family in which both sexes are antlered. Most caribou inhabit arctic tundra and surrounding arboreal coniferous forests and most have seasonal shifts in migration. They are hunted extensively for their meat, skin, antlers, and other parts.
