Abstract
The concept of the natural nidality of human diseases has significantly changed during the last 70 years, but its essence is preserved. Many “new” infections with natural foci were discovered and their geographical distribution was investigated in detail, and the classification of natural foci was developed. It has been established that epidemic features of transmissible infections depend mainly on types of parasitism of insect, tick and mite vectors.
