Relevance. The risk of developing complications of an epidemiological nature for especially dangerous infections is determined by the possibility of importing an infection from disadvantaged countries, which depends on many factors, including the migration activity.Aim. To analyze the external risks of cholera importation into Primorsky Krai by various modes of transport.Materials and methods. Data of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Far Eastern territorial department Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing by railway transport was used. The analysis of the incidence of cholera in the world was carried out according to the WHO, the Reference Center for Monitoring Cholera in the Russian Federation, the Internet resource ProMED-mail.Results and discussion. During the analyzed period (2015–2018), 311,435 vehicles (automobile transport – 87.4%, sea transport – 7.7%, air transport – 4.3%, railway transport – 0.6%) and more than 5 million people arrived in Primorsky Krai from abroad. Analysis of passenger flows by all modes of transport showed that Asian destinations dominate.Conclusion. Evaluation of the epidemiological situation of cholera in the Southeast Asian countries does not rule out the risk of cholera importation into Primorsky Krai, given the high intensity of migratory activity. No conflict of interest to declare.

Introduction: The article analyzes the course of scientific research that led to the discovery of tick-borne (Amarillovirales: Flaviviridae, Flavivirus) and Japanese (Amarillovirales: Flaviviridae, Flavivirus) encephalitis viruses and further formulation of the basic principles of functioning of natural foci of vector-borne infections. Materials and methods: We did a literature search in the State Archive of the Primorsky Krai, the Vladivostok City Archive, the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Elsevier, Springer, and Google Scholar databases. Results: In the late 1930s, the Ussuri taiga became a “cradle” of the concept of natural focality first formulated by Academician Yevgeny N. Pavlovsky in 1939. Originally encompassing vector-borne infectious diseases this concept was later expanded to include non-vector-borne infections and sapronoses. A great contribution to the meaningful evolution of the theory of sapronoses was made by Academician Georgy P. Somov (Vladivostok). Conclusion: Establishment in May 1941 of a predecessor of the modern Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after G.P. Somovbelonging to the Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing became one of the elements of consistent strengthening of the biological security of the country in the Far East.

Resumo: A judicialização das questões consumeristas atinge o Supremo Tribunal Federal por via dos juizados especiais há vários anos. Recentemente uma empresa do ramo de telefonia, a Oi, destacou-se pelo volume desproporcional de processos que levou ao tribunal. Ao analisar o perfil da litigância de direito do consumidor da Oi no Supremo, identificamos que a empresa envia o dobro de processos do segundo colocado no ranking de maiores litigantes, apesar de ter taxa de sucesso menor do que 0,07%. No contexto da necessidade de adequada proteção dos direitos do consumidor, esse comportamento pode ser caracterizado como bullying processual e demanda novas atitudes por parte dos órgãos reguladores e do próprio Supremo.Palavras-chave: Direito do consumidor. Judicialização. Supremo Tribunal Federal. Abstract: The consumer rights lawsuits have reached the Brazilian Supreme Court through small claims courts for years. Recently, one phone company, Oi, stood out for the disproportional number of appeals it took to the court. We found that Oi brought double the number of appeals of the second most frequent appellant in consumer rights at the Supreme Court, even though Oi’s success rate is lower than 0,07%. In the context of appropriate consumer rights protection, this behavior can be characterized as lawsuit bullying and calls for a new attitude by the regulating agencies and the Supreme Court itself.Keywords: Consumer rights. Lawsuits. Brazilian Supreme Court.

Aim: to optimize the diagnosis of toxocariasis based on the analysis of epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data in children with the infestation. Patients and Methods: the analysis of official statistical data for the period of 2014–2018, literature sources, a retrospective analysis of 57 medical records of patients (40 children and 17 adults) who received treatment and diagnostic in the clinic of the Rostov Research Institute of Microbiology and Parasitology of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing in 2015–2018 was conducted. Results: a decrease in the incidence of newly diagnosed infestation cases was revealed (registered in the clinic of the Rostov Research Institute of Microbiology and Parasitology of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing). It correlated with official statistics (r=0.9, p=0.05). Based on clinical and laboratory examination, the diagnosis was established in 26 patients (45.6%). Among patients with a verified diagnosis of toxocariasis, the proportion of children aged 1 years and 1 months to 10 years old, was 96%. An analysis of epidemiological data showed that 76% of children had close contact with the soil. The infestation occurred in the form of latent toxocariasis in 36% of patients. In more than half of the cases, the disease was clinically manifested by geophagy (56.0%). A permanent laboratory parameter was the eosinophilic leukemoid reaction in patients with toxocariasis. Peripheral blood eosinophilia ranged from 15.66.2±9.31% in latent toxocariasis to 25.5±15.0 % in visceral toxocariasis. The positive rate in ELISA with Toxocara antigen was higher than that in the group of patients with visceral toxocariasis. However, there was no correlation between the eosinophilia level and positive rate (r=0.1, p=0.05). Conclusion: in areas where the incidence of toxocariasis and environmental contamination with invasive helminth eggs are high, it is advisable to perform tests of the peripheral blood in children at least one time per year in the autumn for timely diagnosis of infestation. The use of ELISA with Toxocara antigen is reasonable in the cases of peripheral blood eosinophilia. KEYWORDS: toxocariasis, statistics, incidence, eosinophilia, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Toxocara antigen. FOR CITATION: Andreeva A.O., Golovchenko N.V., Zhuravlev A.S.

In the article the meaning of the customer rights protection is researched regarding the minor purchase and sale, as a fundamentalfor the capitalist economy. Separately, it is noted that the adoption of the law “on consumer rights protection” was one of the first when Ukraine received the status of an independent state and fixed the basic principle of consumer rights protection in Part 2 of Article 50of the Constitution of Ukraine. The importance of the association agreement between Ukraine and the European Union for updating theappropriate level of attention to consumer protection is considered. The Annex XXXIX to the 20 agreement regarding association isdefined, being fundamental for the purposes of the research, in which 15 provisions that concern the subject of the research are outlined.The special attention is devoted to the results that were already accomplished, even without the use of systematic approach by the legalauthorities. Three main spheres are found out, which will undergo swift development, as a consequence of continuation of work onapproximation of Ukrainian legislation to the European sample. Each of the streams is processed specifically and in detail. The optionsof future implementation are provided in the process of analysis. For a more complete understanding, separate statistical analysis wasmade. Special attention is paid to problematic issues that do not allow the executive authorities to approach the legislation with thehigher intensity and more effectively. The author’s vision of the Conception of the governmental policy in the sphere of customer’srights protection for the 2020 period is laid out. The critical remarks are being made regarding the inactivity of the executive authoritiesin attraction of European Committee for the official evaluation of the appropriateness of the Ukrainian legislation to the provisions ofthe European Union. Based on the analysis, the methodological concepts of transformation of the institution of the consumer rights protectionin the Ukrainian legislation are worked out.
