Objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of anti-mosquito measures (against Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopiсtus mosquitoes) in the territory of Sochi and determine the ways to improve the tactics of insecticide, including larvicide, treatments.Materials and methods. The monitoring data were analyzed in 156 points of mosquito numbers counting, 57 of which were located at sites that were subjected to treatment, including repeated ones. The count of mosquitoes was carried out by the “observer” method within 20 minutes. Statistical processing of the data was carried out using the “Past” package. Differences in mean values were calculated using the Mann-Wilcoxon-Whitney test. At the points of detection of Ae. aegypti or Ae. albopictus mosquitoes additional targeted anti-mosquito treatments were carried out. Results and conclusions. In 2016, an extremely low numbers of mosquitoes Ae. aegypti were observed. Abundance of mosquitoes Ae. albopictus is described as “high”: more than 11,000 specimens were collected in the territory stretching from the state border with the Republic of Abkhazia in the east to the city of Novorossiysk, inclusive, to the west.The highest numbers of mosquitoes Ae. albopictus were registered in the territory of cemeteries. Performed anti-mosquito activities demonstrated their effectiveness in urbanized areas and some park zones with a high numbers of permanently residing population and tourists due to higher treatment density, small number of places favorable for the breeding of mosquitoes Ae. albopictus directly in these territories and nearby. To prevent the spread of mosquitoes Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus in the territory of epidemically significant objects from neighboring sites, monitoring of their numbers should be continued throughout the city and in all potential habitats. The continuation of monitoring activities across the entire Black Sea coast remains a topical issue due to the possibility of further expansion of the mosquitoes areal.

The article represents the dynamic characteristic features of water quality of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov for 5 years, the priorities of laboratory monitoring of seawater and the ways of solving the problem of it’s quality improvement in recreational areas of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.

The problems of catering control various client groups during the XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games of 2014 in Sochi is one of the priorities of the sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population during mass events. The data on the order of nutrition of guests and participants of the games, control of food items, sanitary and microbiological monitoring of drinking water, food raw materials and products are presented. It is noted that the ongoing supervisory activities contributed to the sanitary and epidemiological well-being during the Games. The purpose of this study was to lighting modern achievements in the field of nutrition and food microbiology in the period of the Olympic Games and the determination of their value to the further improvement and use at when conducting mass gatherings.

The organization of laboratory environmental monitoring in the pre-Olympic period and during the XXII Olympic winter games and XI Paralympic winter games 2014. The results of radiation monitoring during the construction of sports and infrastructure facilities Sochi. Study analyzed the procedure for compliance with hygienic standards and additional indicators of drinking water, food, food raw material and other objects.

The paper generalizes the experience of formation of protection system against biological threats and ensuring sanitary and epidemiological welfare during preparation for the XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games of 2014 in Sochi. The basic steps for creating this system, since 2007, participation and role of Rospotrebnadzor in this process are shown. The paper deals with such questions as the governmental and administrative structures with federal agencies interaction, development of a regulatory framework governing the safety system of the Olympic Games, development of algorithms of information exchange and management decisions, biological safety in developing infrastructure in Sochi.

The experience of the organization and functioning of the laboratory network during the XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games of 2014 in Sochi is considered. Efforts to establish an effective system of laboratory support, the order of work and interaction of diagnostic laboratories involved in diseases control of population during the Olympic Games are analyzed.
