Relevance:
Highly pathogenic avian influenza, foot-and-mouth disease and lumpy skin disease is relevant in the study region are of current importance. These diseases are highly contagious, affecting various types of domestic animals - wild animals and birds, increasing the boundaries of the infectious focus in a short time. Observed isolated cases of sporadic outbreaks of these diseases warn of the ever-existing danger of epizootics for these diseases.
Target:
The aim of the project is to monitor the epizootic situation over the past five years in the Pavlodar and East Kazakhstan regions for highly pathogenic avian influenza, foot and mouth disease and lumpy skin disease.
Expectation:
The dependence of the emergence and spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, foot-and-mouth disease and lumpy skin disease on various factors will be assessed, maps will be drawn showing the density of lakes, population, livestock of animals and birds, outbreaks of infectious diseases, areas of possible introduction of pathogens from the source of infection. The immune state of animals and birds will be studied by determining the antibody titer. In order to determine the immune status of animals to foot-and-mouth disease, non-structural proteins in the blood serum of animals will be studied. Based on the results of the research, scientific articles will be published in journals recommended by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, as well as in journals indexed by Web of Science databases according to CiteScore in the Scopus database of at least 35 percent.
Result:
As a result of the study, the epizootic situation was studied and assessed, risk factors for highly pathogenic avian influenza, foot and mouth disease and lumpy dermatitis in Pavlodar and East Kazakhstan regions were studied. An analysis of veterinary and preventive measures for these diseases was carried out. Maps have been compiled showing the dependence of the appearance of infectious diseases on a number of factors. In 20 districts of Pavlodar and East Kazakhstan regions, blood serum and pathological material was collected from birds, cattle, small cattle, horses and pigs. A total of 3,100 samples were taken and delivered to the Research Institute of Biological Safety in the town of Gvardeisky Otar.
Based on data on the territorial distribution of avian influenza, maps of areas were compiled indicating the location of the outbreak. Analyzed the incidence of bird species, seasonality, prevalence.
