Principles of Management of the Epizootiologic Monitoring of Combined Natural Foci of Plague and Other Dangerous Infectious Diseases in the Lower-Volga Region

Abstract

Based on the experience of the long-term epizootiologic survey in the natural foci of plague, determined were the principles of usage of the developed methodology of monitoring of the dangerous infectious diseases combined with plague. The methods of collection of the field material to identify the agents of different infections were suggested. Prospects of complex differentiation of territory according to the level of epidemic danger were considered. The tasks of further study of the areas, spatial and biocenotic structure of combined natural foci of plague and other dangerous infections were formulated.

Mapping Plague Risk Using Super Species Distribution Models and Forecasts for Rodents in the Zhambyl Region, Kazakhstan

“…The Central Asian desert focus of plague is broken into small natural foci, mostly located in the Zhambyl region of the southern Kazakhstan,—Betpaqdala, Tauqum, and Moiynqum Deserts being desert natural foci, and Talas Alatau Mountains being high‐mountain focus (Atshabar et al., 2012 ). It is crucial to carefully monitor the perilous natural focal infections caused by bacteria, viruses, rickettsia, and other etiologies in regions that are prone to plague outbreaks (Kuznetsov et al., 2009 ; Meka‐Mechenko et al., 2012 , 2016 ; Tynybekov et al., 1997 ). This is due to the potential threat of an epidemic in these areas, caused by the influence of anthropogenic and climatic factors on the formation of combined natural foci of infectious diseases.…”

Principles of Organization and Carrying out of Laboratory Diagnostics in the Mobile Indication Laboratory Used for Epizootiological Surveillance over Particularly Dangerous and Other Natural Foci Infections

“…Организация мобильной лаборатории на базе транспортного средства обусловливает необходимость четкого обоснования структуры лаборатории и ее функциональных возможностей. В настоящее время при выборе тактики эпизоотологического обследования учитываются результаты эпидемиологического районирования территории, эпизоотологическая дифференциация природного очага, а также фаза эпизоотического цикла, в которой находится очаг, что определяет приемы, сроки, плотность и последовательность эпизоотологического обследования [2, 3,5]. Исходя из этого, требует дифференцированного подхода и тактика лабораторного исследования.…”
