NATURAL DISASTER RISKS
IN UKRAINE
N.O.VYNOGRAD
Senior Epidemiologist of Ministry Health of Ukraine,
Chief of Epidemiology Department
L’viv National Medical University, Ukraine
TYPES of BIOLOGYCAL DANGER

Activation, distribution and change of the
border of the natural nidi of infectious
diseases
 Epidemical distribution of the formerly
control infectious diseases
 Appearance of the new unknown
infectious diseases
 “Imported” agents of the exotic and
internationally quarantinable diseases
 Bioterrorism
TYPES of NATURAL NIDI
(by the components of the parasitical system)

Zooanthroponosis
(animal/bird/reptile –
vectors – human)
 Saprozooanthroponosis
(soil/water –
animal/reptile – vectors
– human)
 Saproanthroponisis
(soil/water – human)

social
INFLUENCING FACTORS

 Climatic conditions
(humidity,
temperature,
hydrometeor),
 Geographical
location,
 Presence of certain
types of animals,
birds, vectors.

RISK FACTORS of the DESTABILIZATION
of EPIZOOTO-EPIDEMICAL SITUATION at
ZOOANTHROPONOSIS

Decrease of the volume of
epizootologycal surveillance
 Decrease of the Insect and Rodent control
 Inadequate laboratory verification
 Worsening of the hygiene conditions of
territorial
 Natural Disasters (Floods)
 Fell of the forest without adequate control
MEANS of the OPTIMIZATION of
EPIDEMIOLOGYCAL SURVEILANCE





Modernization of the Lab diagnosis by
introduction of the express methods (ELISA,
IF, PCR)
Introduction of the definition of infectious
diseases
Organization of the correct epidemiological
monitoring
Forecast of epidemic process for specific
diseases
