[The lysozyme-antilysozyme functional system in hydrobionts and its role in forming aqueous biocenoses].
Lysozyme activity has been evaluated in hydrobionts of different trophic levels: algae, zooplankton and germs. The existence of the functional system "Lysozyme of hydrobionts--antilysozyme of germs", functioning as a regulating element in the formation of aqueous microbiocenosis, has been substantiated on the basis of data provided by laboratory experiments and investigations carried out in natural water pools.

[Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in the structure of natural-focus morbidity in the southern Khabarovsk Territory and its social significance].
According to the data contained in the materials provided by the hospital of infectious diseases of the Khabarovsk Medical Institute, in the recent decade hemorrhagic fever with the renal syndrome, together with pseudotuberculosis, played the leading role in the structure of morbidity caused by natural foci of infections. The distribution of patients in social groups and different important factors of the epidemiology of this disease are considered. Taking into account a high morbidity level in this disease and its social grounds, the necessity of further improvement of the system of nonspecific prophylaxis is substantiated.

[The clinico-epidemiological characteristics of Powassan encephalitis in the southern Soviet Far East].
The present communication deals with the analysis of 14 cases of Powassan encephalitis. As shown in this study, the course of this infection may be accompanied by symptoms indicating the presence of cerebral and meningeal lesions (in 7 cases meningoencephalitic forms with one fatal outcome and in 2 cases meningeal forms were registered) or take febrile and inapparent forms (5 cases). Powassan encephalitis was found to give characteristic symptoms of cerebellovestibular lesions, differentiating this disease from tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). The cases of mixed infections caused by TBE virus, Powassan encephalitis virus and tick-born Borrelia were found to be possible.
