[Approaches to assessing the parasitological profile of Russia. 1. Study of the method of quantifying].

The technique may be effectively used in assessing the territory of the Russian Federation for human parasitic diseases (some parasitic entities, their complexes, economic damage caused by parasitoses, etc.) on the basis of official statistics. The aggregability levels will greatly vary with the nature of the baseline values while cartographically describing the parasitism situation in an area. The best results are obtained while estimating the absolute number of the notified parasitic cases, rather the morbidity rates calculated per 100,00 population. The areas including 2 first quartiles (i.e. the most high density) concomitantly for 6, 5, 4, etc. parasitoses while assessing the parasitic situation. The areas where the parasitic diseases under study are recorded, but which have no infestation rates that form the first 2 quartiles (i.e. that are characterized by a comparatively low density for the whole analyzed parasitic complex) remain burden-free.
