    As of August 11, in the Volgograd region registered 1093 cases of requests residents to medical facilities on the biting mites, which can be vectors of Crimean hemorrhagic fever (KGL).

For example, in 2007 on the territory of the Crimean hemorrhagic fever disease 30 people in 2008 - 15, and since the beginning of spring this year - only 2.


    However, the increasing rate of negotiability of the citizens to doctors in connection with the bites of ticks. All this testifies to the effectiveness of advocacy work being done in the field of population. Residents of the region realize the danger of disease KGL and become more responsible for their own health.

    Experts note Rospotrebnadzor management and reducing the number of ticks on the animals in the environment, as well as their ?infection? virus KGL. This is largely due to regular protivokleschevyh treatment of large and small cattle, facilities and grazing animals in Gorodischenskom, Surovikinskom, Ilovlinskom, Kalachevskom, Svetloyarskom, Serafimovichskom, Chernyshkovskom, Kletskom, Kotelnikovskom, Oktyabrsky areas - traditionally disadvantaged in the incidence of KGL.
