| [natural focal infections in the north of the far east. i. the detection of natural foci of infections in chukot]. | results of a 3-year complex (zoo-parasitological, viral, bacteriological, and serological) studies of mammals and birds in chukotka demonstrated the presence of natural foci of pseudo-tuberculosis, intestinal yersinosis, salmonellosis (heidelberg), and of tick-borne encephalitis. the existence of natural foci of tularemia and endemic rickettsioses is supposed on the basis of serological data. | 1978 | 371268 |
| [correlation of genetic and demographic differences between populations of indigenous inhabitants of the northeastern ussr]. | correlative analysis is given for some demographic characteristics in populations of asiatic eskimos, coastal and reindeer chuckchies, kamchatka koryaks and chukotka evens. summarized estimation of population differences for 7 demographic parameters is presented. highly reliable correlation of genetic distinctions as defined for 17 polymorphic loci, and demographic differences between populations estimated for 7 parameters (r = 0.868, p less than 0.001) was found. the role of ecological factors ... | 1989 | 2759448 |
| [genetic and ecological study of aboriginal populations of northeastern siberia. i. gm-haplotypes and their frequency in 10 chukchi populations. genetic structure of reindeer chukchi]. | g1m (z, a, x, f) and g3m (g, b0, b1, b3, b5, s, t) allotypes were tested in 1079 chukchi inhabitants of interior chukotka and adjacent kamchatka. genetic variation at this particular locus is provided by the presence of three haplotypes, namely, za;g, zax;g and za;bo35st, revealed with mean frequencies of 0.748, 0.089 and 0.154, respectively. traces of caucasian gm (f;bo135) haplotype were observed in 9 of 10 populations studied. judging from its frequency in the whole group (0.009), european ad ... | 1986 | 3770478 |
| gm and km immunoglobulin allotypes in reindeer chukchi and siberian eskimos. | blood samples from 403 reindeer chukchi of inland chukotka, and 100 samples from chaplin eskimos of the chukot peninsula were tested for g 1 m (z,a,x,f), g2m (n), g3m (g,b0,b1,b3,b5,s,t), and km (1) allotypic determinants. an apparent affinity between the chukchi and the eskimos could be inferred from similar frequencies of the two common haplotypes, gmza;g and gmza;bst, and from very similar frequencies of the km1 allele. however, none of the eskimos had gmzax;g, though it occurred at a low or ... | 1982 | 6957376 |
| [the spread of the principal socially important parasitic disease on the territory of the chukot autonomous okrug (chao)]. | the paper provides the examination findings of helminthiases in the population of the town of anadyr, the settlements of kanchalan, krasneno, and in the reindeer-breeding teams of the anadyr district, cad. the children infected with enterobiasis were shown to amount to 15.1 to 22.9%, diphyllobothriasis was detected in 12.9 - 33.7% of the examinees. single cases of ascariasis were revealed. analysis of 232 cases with echinococcosis demonstrates that the infection is prevalent over the whole chuko ... | 1996 | 8700016 |
| traditional foods in the diet of chukotka natives. | during several medical expeditions the recipes and technology of traditional foods of the indigenous population of chukotka have been collected. traditional foods are important sources of fat, protein and essential nutrients. the traditional diet of chukotka natives consists of caribou meat, marine animals and fish, depending on the place of residence. all meat products or fish are eaten with local plants: roots, green leaves, berries or seaweed. local foods are usually eaten raw frozen and dipp ... | 2001 | 11507962 |
| human impacts on the tundra-taiga zone dynamics: the case of the russian lesotundra. | the tundra-taiga zone is considered not only as a natural ecotone, but as a unique fringe zone with socioeconomic peculiarities. this holistic approach enables us to analyze several significant types of human impacts (industrial impacts and those associated with renewable resources development, including traditional reindeer herding and human settlements) and their role in the displacement of the lesotundra zone. in russia, there is much evidence of deforestation and ecosystem degradation in dif ... | 2002 | 12374057 |
| mating patterns amongst siberian reindeer herders: inferences from mtdna and y-chromosomal analyses. | the evenks and evens, who speak closely related languages belonging to the northern tungusic branch of the tungusic family, are nomadic reindeer herders and hunters. they are spread over an immense territory in northeastern siberia, and consequently different subgroups are in contact with diverse peoples speaking samoyedic, turkic, mongolic, chukotka-kamchatkan, and yukaghir languages. nevertheless, the languages and culture of the evenks and evens are similar enough for them to have been classi ... | 2007 | 17492671 |
| dietary exposure to persistent organic pollutants and metals among inuit and chukchi in russian arctic chukotka. | the general aim was to assess dietary exposure to selected persistent organic pollutants (pops) and metals among eskimo (inuit) and chukchi of the chukotka peninsula of the russian arctic, and to establish recommendations for exposure risk reduction. | 2012 | 22789517 |
