“…Кроме того, отечественные исследователи устано вили, что споры B. anthracis могут сохраняться и рас пространяться в почве посредством дождевых червей. Было выявлено, что 50-70% спор сохраняют свои свой ства и вирулентность в кишечниках червей в течение 30 дней (срок исследования) [28].…”

Anthrax remains a global problem, both for veterinary and human medicine, due to the wide spread of its soil foci throughout the world. The ability to sporulate is the main feature of Bacillus anthracis, which allows the pathogen to persist in the environment for a long time. Understanding the ecology of B. anthracis is essential for successful control of this infection. This review analyzes the data from the global literature, reflecting the modern understanding of the vital functions of the anthrax agent in various ecological niches. As a result of the work, it was revealed that many links in the chain of B. anthracis lifecycle in the abiotic environment remain poorly understood. A more in-depth study is required for issues related to the mechanisms, ways of living and evolution of the anthrax causative agent outside the animal body. A separate section of the review describes the problems of anthrax foci in soil. It is shown that today there are no effective and environmentally friendly methods and means of their elimination. In addition, the question of the expediency of their use remains open. According to some researchers, the increasingly emerging initiatives for the elimination or conservation of anthrax burial sites are not only useless, but also harmful, since they exclude the possibility of further predicting the risks associated with soil foci that surround livestock burial sites and cannot be decontaminated. The study and new approaches to solution of the highlighted issues will make a significant contribution to solving the global problem of protecting animals and people from this infection.

“…Currently, there are no effective and environmentally friendly methods and means for anthrax foci elimination [11]. B. anthracis cells are able to live and multiply in soil amoebas and plant rhizosphere [12,13] and are spread from the anthrax focus by earthworms [14], which makes possible the constant presence of anthrax in the affected areas. Thus, a well-established system for the early diagnosis of anthrax is necessary throughout the EAEU.…”

This review examines anthrax diagnostic tools registered in the national Veterinary Drugs Registers and Medicines and Medical Devices Registers of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Actually, throughout the entire territory of the EAEU, there are natural soil foci of anthrax, which causes annual cases of infection of animals and people. Continuous monitoring of the epidemiological situation in the EAEU countries should be ensured by modern diagnostic tools. All diagnostic tools used for epidemiological surveillance must be registered in the national registers of the EAEU countries. For all test systems and diagnostic kits included in the registers of the EAEU countries, the authors provide comparative characteristics that reflect the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tools. An analysis of various methods for identifying the anthrax pathogen, focused on modern molecular diagnostic technologies, is presented. The authors discuss the most important problems associated with improving the efficiency of modern methods for detecting the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Some considerations about the shortcomings in certain areas of early diagnosis of the anthrax microbe are also provided. The authors present a number of proposals that should improve the efficiency of the currently available anthrax monitoring system.
