The article presents the results of a study on the assessment of the strategy implemented in the Altai Territory for ensuring the epidemiological control of the incidence of tick-borne encephalitis and Siberian tick-borne typhus in the period from 2000 to 2019. Within the framework of the study, ternary graphs visualizing the strategy of preventive and anti-epidemic measures used in the region in relation to these infections were constructed and analyzed, namely the influence of vaccination factors, seroprophylaxis and acaricidal treatments on the incidence of tick-borne encephalitis. The results of the regression analysis of the dependence of these factors on the incidence rates of the studied nosologies are presented. The prospective scope of preventive and anti-epidemic measures has been calculated.
