A comparative analysis was made of medical and climatic conditions in the south of the Far East. Changes in the immune status, lipid peroxidation of blood cell membranes, and the antioxidative system were studied during adaptation of adults and children who had arrived from Siberia, the European part of Russia, and Far-East regions. How a standard regional adaptation of the bioimmunological status forms was followed up under the conditions of monsoons. Critical periods in migrants' adaptation and bioimmunological criteria of development of disadaptation conditions are described. A concept of the tense-dynamic type of migrants' adaptative bioimmunological reactions under the Far East monsoon conditions is proposed.
