[An attempt at dividing the territory of Azerbaijan into districts according to taeniarhynchiasis].

To substantiate a differential approach to sanitary measures planning with regard to infestation with Taeniorhynchus, the authors performed a staged ranging of the Azerbaijan territory. The first stage ranging was based on the statistical data on the rate of taeniasis in humans and cysticercosis in the cattle. The second stage included the correlation between the different types of the foci and various geographical properties of the republic areas. The conclusive stage employed individual and typological ranging and analysis of natural and social factors with regard to the data on the infestation rates among the human population and the cattle. With regard to endemicity rates the authors distinguished 17 individual regions and 4 types of the territory. The aforementioned staged ranging permitted the planning of sanitary measures for the individual territory.
