Abstract

The paper provides a rationale for the importance of using the techniques of molecular biology to estimate the global movement of some types of infectious diseases. This proposition is analyzed using tuberculosis infection as an example. The epidemic Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes that are widely distributed in Russia, Estonia, Latvia, and some other countries of Europe and Asia are identified. The findings suggest that there was a one-stage and burst distribution of the M. tuberculosis Beijing genotype in the former Soviet Union countries in the first half of the 20th century.
