Abstract
After studying the dependence of acute respiratory diseases of all etiologies on air temperature and population immunity dynamics, the authors proposed that the air temperature and the immunity level can affect disease resistance. Knowledge of the relationship between these factors must clarify the mechanisms that determine morbidity dynamics.
