Relevance. In Russia every year are registred 100 or more cases of tularemia, with about 70% of them in the Central, Northwest and Siberian federal districts. Goal. Assessment of the current epidemiological situation on tularemia in the North-West Federal district (NWFD). Materials and methods. By means of a MapInfo Professional-10,5 GIS-package information on selection of cultures of the activator of a tularemia and the recorded incidence was transformed to the database on the basis of which GIS layers were created. Definition of geographical coordinates of places of isolation of cultures of a tulyaremiyny microbe from biological objects in the territory of the NWFD is carried out by means of the GoogleEarth program. Results. In 2001 - 2015 in NWFD incidence observed in all regions of the district, except Novgorod and Pskov regions. But the analysis of incidence of a tularemia allowed to reveal the sick people who infected in the territory of these regions that means there regions is endemic of tularemia. There remains a strong tendency to increase the incidence of tularemia urban population.The lack of permanent monitoring of natural eyes of tularemia in some regions of the district, does not allow to trace the development of epizootic process and to assess the intensity and magnitude of epizootics. As a result, activation of natural foci of tularemia is not noted, which increases the risk of human infection in these areas. Conclusions. Insufficient or complete lack of vaccination of people against tularemia living in areas enzootic for this infection may lead to complication of the epidemiological situation.
A magnetophotonic Tamm structure with a bilayer film of Bi-substituted
iron garnets (Bi:IG) with a significant magneto-optical (MO) response,
placed in microcavity, and Tamm plasmon-polaritons (TPP) excited at
the interface of the Au layer, were proposed. Optical and MO spectra
of the hybrid state were investigated theoretically and experimentally
in Faraday effect geometry at a normal incidence of the light wave.
Anticrossing behavior of the TPP and Fabry-Perot resonances and
dependence of spectral splitting on their hybrid state on the
thickness of the Au layer was shown. By varying the thickness of the
top SiO2 layer in the structure, the modifications of
spectra on the TPP spectral position were described in detail. The
results can be used to design tunable MO devices and sensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
