New, so far unknown epidemically active natural foci of tick-borne rickettsiosis have been identified in Suzun District, Novosibirsk Province. The patients had a typical clinical pattern and epidemiological history of the disease. The cases were recorded in a number of communities in the northern forest-steppe zones. The results of the epidemiological survey and rickettsial studies of Ixodes ticks and blood sera of farm animals demonstrate the existence of clear-cut natural foci of tick-borne rickettsiosis, with its main vectors being ticks D. silvarum. The infestation of ticks was proved by biotests in passive hemagglutination tests, using an immunoglobulin diagnostic kit. Some measures for the monitoring of foci and disease prevention are suggested.
在新西伯利亚州苏祖恩区发现了新的、迄今未知的蜱传立克次体病流行活跃自然疫源地。患者具有该病典型的临床症状和流行病学史。病例记录于北部森林草原地带的多个社区。对蓖子硬蜱和家畜血清进行的流行病学调查及立克次体研究结果表明，存在明确的蜱传立克次体病自然疫源地，其主要传播媒介为蓖子硬蜱。通过生物试验、利用免疫球蛋白诊断试剂盒进行被动血凝试验证实了蜱的感染情况。文中还提出了一些监测疫源地和预防疾病的措施。
