[The epidemiological characteristics of the immunological response in campylobacteriosis].

An analytical survey of literature on the problem of immunological aspects of campylobacteriosis is presented. Antigenic nature of various components of a bacterial cell of these agents is described. Schemes of serotyping of campylobacteria on the basis of thermolabile and thermostable antigens are analyzed. It is shown expedient to use serotyping for determination of an infection source in the epidemiological practice. Proceeding from the published data presented, a conclusion is made that it is necessary to develop the home schemes of serotyping. At the same time a problem on development of new proximate methods promoting immunological indication of campylobacteriosis antigens in various ecological niches is not less urgent and is to be taken into account when planning antiepidemiological measures against the campylobacteriosis infection.
