Leprosy brought to the Caspian region and the Caucasus from Persia
Abstracts. General pathology and bacteriology. Shvartsman (Zlb. F. Bakt., Bd. 112, H. 5-8) indicates that leprosy was brought to the Caspian region and the Caucasus from Persia, and the spread of leprosy disease is favored by the proximity of the sea and an unhygienic lifestyle. It is very likely that fish consumption plays a role in this. Leprosy can be carried by flies, mosquitoes.
