Attention, tuberculosis!
Tuberculosis is a dangerous infectious disease. The causative agent of tuberculosis is mycobacterium, which spreads from person to person mainly through the air: when coughing, sneezing, and most often affects the lungs. To infect a person, it is enough to inhale only a small amount of such bacteria. Mycobacteria of tuberculosis persist in the external environment: on surrounding objects, in poorly ventilated homes with insufficient lighting, especially in damp rooms, but they easily die under the influence of sunlight. Every sick person who releases mycobacterium tuberculosis and does not receive treatment can infect more than 10 people a year.
In the world, about one third of the population has latent tuberculosis. In Russia, the infection rate is much higher. This means that people are infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis, but (as yet) have not contracted the disease and cannot transmit it. The risk of developing the disease in infected people is 10%.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which combine two nosological forms – Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are chronic progressive immuno-mediated diseases of unknown etiology. IBD is one of the most serious and unresolved problems in modern gastroenterology, which is due to the high and constantly growing incidence rate, poorly studied etiopathogenesis, unpredictable clinical outcomes and difficulties in choosing treatment tactics. According to European publications, the incidence of IBD in Western Europe is twice as high as in Eastern Europe (Crohn's disease: 6.5 cases per 100,000 population compared to 3.3, ulcerative colitis: 9.8 cases per 100,000 population compared to 4.6). However, according to the regional registers of the Russian Federation, the prevalence of IBD is much higher and is 5-12 cases per 100,000 population in regions where there are no IBD centers, and more than 40 cases in regions where an IBD center operates.

As a rule, this happens through the bites of blood-sucking insects, such as mosquitoes, ticks. In one natural focus, several pathogens can coexist - bacteria, viruses, helminths, protozoa, etc.
In order to protect yourself from natural focal diseases, many of which pose a serious threat to people's lives, it is important to have information about the ways of transmission of infection and ways to prevent diseases. What is a "natural hearth"? The phrase "natural focus" directly indicates that the source of infection exists in nature. Pathogens of natural focal diseases tend to be transmitted from people to animals, which means that a person who finds himself in such a biogeocenosis can be infected. In this case, pathogens are transmitted in various ways: through insect bites, by inhaling dried excrement of infected animals, etc.
