The results of molecular genetic studies of clinical samples taken from three foci of outbreaks of enterovirus infection, registered on the territory of Khabarovsk Krai and Amur Oblast from 2012 through 2013 were reported. Several strains of enteroviruses were obtained: strains of Coxsackie A-4 and Coxsackie A-16 from De-Kastri rural locality, strains of ECHO-6 from Ust’-Urikma (Amur Oblast) and strains of Coxsackie A-6 from Raichihisnsk (Amur Oblast). Use of molecular genetic methods for investigation of collective morbidity and outbreaks of enterovirus infection help to confirm the identity of enteroviruses, isolated from patients and to identify the imported cases of infection.

Aim.To evaluate the effectiveness of the obstetric care service in Khabarovsk Krai, based on a comparison of the dynamics of infant and perinatal mortality rates for the period 20092018. Materials and methods.A comparative analysis of official statistics of the Ministry of Health of Khabarovsk Krai and other territories of the Far Eastern Federal District was carried out using the Rosstat database for the period 20092018, taking into account the indicators of infant, perinatal mortality, and preterm birth. The trend of the dynamics was determined in the process of graphical analysis of the chart and by modeling trends. The results of the studies were subjected to methods of statistical processing of information. Results.The results revealed in our study indicate that over the 10-year interval, the infant and perinatal mortality rates in Khabarovsk Krai decreased by 2 times, the rate of decrease was higher than similar processes in the Far Eastern Federal District and the Russian Federation. A graphical representation of infant and perinatal mortality rates underlines the instability of these values in Khabarovsk Krai. Тhe decrease in infant and perinatal mortality in Khabarovsk Krai is mainly due to a decrease in early neonatal mortality. The ratio of stillbirth to early neonatal mortality indicates an excess of stillbirth by 7.88 and 6.95 times in 20172018. The relatively high stillbirth rate in Khabarovsk Krai indicates the instability of the results in providing assistance to pregnant women and women in childbirth. Conclusion.The infant mortality rate is the main quality indicator recommended by WHO for assessing the level of care. This indicator must be considered in conjunction with the indicator of perinatal mortality, especially its constituent components of stillbirth and early neonatal mortality, namely the ratio of stillbirth to early neonatal mortality. The deformation of this proportion towards a multiple increase in stillbirth, against the background of a progressive decrease in early neonatal mortality, indicates the presence of an inadequate assessment of the organization of medical care in the obstetric care service.

To date, a lot of data on molecular genetic characteristics of different tick-borne encephalitis virus strains has appeared. Only on the basis of the E protein genome, sequences of about 1,500 TBEV strains were registered in GenBank.The purpose of the work – revision and comparative analysis of data on complete genomes sequences of the Far Eastern subtype of TBE virus strains distributed in the Asian part of Eurasian continent.Material and methods. The data on the complete genomes of 84 strains of TBEV isolated in Asia were used; phylogenetic analysis was performed.Results and discussion: it was shown that variants of the TBEV of the Far Eastern subtype are circulating here and form three separate clusters (Sofjin, Senzhang- и Shkotovo-like strains). Sofjin strain (Sofjin-1953, Sofjin-Chumakov, Sofjin-KSY) was considered to be the reference for Far Eastern TBE virus subtype strains and a cluster of Sofjin-like strains. Sofjin-like strains were not found in China and Japan, but widely distributed throughout the area of Primorsky and Khabarovsk krai. The group of Senzhang-like strains was distributed in China, Eastern Siberia, Khabarovsk krai and northern Primorsky krai, but was not found in Japan (Hokkaido). According to molecular genetic characteristics the youngest and more genetically homogeneous group was the Shkotovo-like strains, isolated in the southern part of Primorsky krai, however not found on Hokkaido Island (Japan).Conclusion: revision of the complete genome characteristics of TBEV strains revealed the features of micro-evolutionary process of viral populations in the Asian part of Eurasia, show the individual affection of strains to certain territories, as well as detect random finds of such strains in the territories of other natural foci.

In 2017, from October 15 to November 21, 5 cholera cases imported from India – 3 patients and 2 carriers of V. cholerae – were recorded in Almaty. The patients recovered from the disease. Objective of the study was to characterize the imported cases of cholera and investigate the properties of cholera vibrio strains isolated from patients and carriers of V. cholerae. Materials and methods. Revised were the medical records; blood sera, feces from patients and contact persons were assayed. Studied were sensitivity spectrum to antibacterial preparations of isolated V. cholerae strains according to the “Methodological guidelines on laboratory diagnosis of cholera”, dated September 27, 2010; No 252. Epidemiological, microbiological, immunological and molecular-genetic methods were applied for investigation. Results and conclusions. Consequently to molecular genetic studies, genes of specificity, wbeN and toxicity (epidemic significance), ctxA, tcpA were detected in samples from 3 patients and 2 contact persons. The isolated strains were identified as Vibrio cholerae O1 Eltor Inaba in two cases, and in one case – as Vibrio cholerae O1 Eltor Hykoshima, Heiberg group I, toxigenic, hemolysis negative in Greig test, virulent, highly sensitive to ciprofloxacin, doxycilin, erythromycin, tetracycline and moderately sensitive to levomycetin. It was established that the country of export in all the cases was India. Relevant anti-epidemic and preventive measures were undertaken to localize and eradicate the foci in order to prevent possible threat of epidemic spread of infections among the population.

Introduction. Molecular-genetic monitoring of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drug-resistant strains circulation as well as analysis of territorial peculiarities of different genetic variants prevalence of the virus is a crucial part of epidemiological surveillance over HIV-infection spread. Objective of the research - to analyze the prevalence of HIV-1 genetic variants among HIV-positive people living in different constituent entities of the Far Eastern Federal District. Material and methods. Molecular-genetic analysis of the Pol-gene that is coding protease and a part of reverse transcriptase of HIV-1 was performed for a total number of 206 blood plasma samples. The biological material was collected from HIV-positive people living in Sakhalin, Magadan and Amur regions, Jewish Autonomous District, Khabarovsk region, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and Chukotka Autonomous Region (constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the Russian Far East). Results. The research demonstrated that HIV-1 sub-subtype A6 continues to be dominant and comprises 72.1±3.1% of all isolated subtypes in the regions of the Russian Far East. HIV-1 subtype B was identified in 14 cases (6.8±1.8%) and subtype C in 4 cases (1.9±1.0%). Spectrum of HIV-1 recombinant forms was determined for some regions. We identified five types of HIV-1 circulating recombinant forms (CRF): CRF03_AB - 2 (0.9±0.7%), CRF02_AG - 8 (3.9±1.3%), CRF63_02A1 - 27 (13.1±2.4%), CRF11_cpx - 1 (0.5±0.5%), CRF01_AE - 3 (1.5±0.8%). High heterogeneity of the virus was registered in the Jewish Autonomous District. Discussion. The conducted research revealed genetic differences in the landscape of HIV-1 subtypes circulation as well as differences in HIV-1 recombinant forms distribution frequency in the Russian Far East. Current findings are due to expansion of migration flows that promote cross-border importation and further spread of different HIV-1 genetic variants among population of the Far Eastern Federal District. Conclusion. The conducted research revealed that the molecular-genetic monitoring of HIV-1 genovariants should involve not only regions with high HIV-abundance but also with low HIV-prevalence and incidence.

Background. Enterovirus infection is widely spread around the world. It has different epidemiologic and clinical manifestations. However, to date, the amount of accumulated information on the epidemic process of enterovirus infection in different constituent entities of the Siberian Federal district of the Russian Federation is insufficient. Objectives. Our objectives were to investigate characteristics of the enterovirus infection epidemic process in Siberian constituent entities subjected to surveillance using the innovative molecular genetic analysis. Materials and methods. The analysis of long-term enterovirus infection incidence in the investigated constituent entities of Siberia was performed. The total number of 237 enterovirus strains circulating during 2017-2018 epidemic seasons in the analyzed regions were isolated using sequencing technique. A phylogenetic analysis of the obtained nucleotide sequences was performed. Results. The epidemiologic situation related to enterovirus infection was unfavorable in the majority of the Siberian constituent entities in the past two years. A significant increase in incidence rates was registered in the Irkutsk Region, Zabaykalsky Krai and Altai Republic. We distinguished major manifestations of the enterovirus infection epidemic process including a years-long excess of the national average and a rising trend in the annual incidence rate, prevalence of herpangina, exanthema and enterovirus meningitis in the clinical course of the disease among children aged 3–6. Prevalence of Coxsackievirus A-6 and Coxsackievirus A-9 in the landscape of circulation was revealed in a number of Siberian regions. Group incidence and imported cases were also registered. Discussion. Our results demonstrated the importance of molecular genetic monitoring of circulating enteroviruses as part of the epidemiologic surveillance. This state-of-the-art approach can reveal potential epidemiologic links between cases of the disease.
