“…N. A. Mironova describes the development of agrotourism in Russia as follows: "Unfortunately, at the moment, the development of agrotourism in Russia is a declared slogan, without any progressive movements in this direction. With assistance of the state, an association for agrotourism promotion has even been launched, which declares a large number of objectives on its own website, but judging by the activity on the portal and the nearly total absence of news updates, the real activity of the association is either at an extremely low level, or completely absent" [10]. O. K. Slinkova states the following priority measures that can give an impetus to agro-tourism development in the Russian Federation: developing a legislative framework to regulate functioning of this sector of tourism; providing support for agrotourist farms in the form of preferential loans for the tourist infrastructure development; developing and implementing regional programs to support agrotourism [11].…”

The paper discusses current issues and problems of organizing and implementing event and tourist activities as an effective tool for popularizing and attracting attention to rural areas, which, in the context of the COVID 19 preventive campaign around the world, is a relevant factor for many categories of the population. The authors have identified the positive and negative factors of tourist activities organization, affecting the socio-cultural and economic level of rural development. The main directions of organization, implementation and development of rural and agroindustrial tourism on the territory of a separate subject of the Russian Federation have been determined. Most important, in the current difficult conditions of the tourist industry development, in many territories of Russia domestic tourism is becoming a priority, focusing, among other things, on the creation of new products of rural and agroindustrial tourism.

“…However, due to an increase in refugees and labor migrants from ex-USSR republics, the local transmission of PV Malaria was initiated again. There were 525 autochthonous (indigenous) PV Malaria recorded between 1995 and 2008 (62). This may apply to Nepal even before malaria elimination is achieved.…”

Background Nepal is attempting to eliminate malaria by 2026. Despite decreased malaria burden in Nepal between 2004 and 2018, studies have shown that some malaria indicators are increasing in certain parts of the country and that malaria has shifted to previously non-endemic areas. The objective of this study is to analyze the spatio-temporal patterns of malaria in Nepal from 2005 to 2018, following the introduction of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) as vector control intervention. Methods Data describing five different malaria indicators were obtained from annual reports of the Department of Health Services of the Government of Nepal: incidence of Indigenous Malaria, Imported Malaria, PV ( Plasmodium vivax) Malaria, PF ( Plasmodium falciparum) Malaria, and Total Malaria. Spatial variation in temporal trend method was employed in SaTScan software to detect the unusually high or low temporal trends of malaria indicators, and to generate their spatio-temporal clusters. Results All five indicators revealed spatiotemporal clusters of increasing malaria. Indigenous Malaria increased by 113.71% in a cluster of three mountainous districts where malaria was previously non-endemic. Most clusters of Imported Malaria had an increasing trend. The most prominent cluster included Kathmandu, the capital, where Imported Malaria increased by 156.22%. PV and PF Malaria also had clusters with an increasing trend. There were two clusters of Total Malaria with an increasing trend. Even though some clusters had decreasing trends in malaria indicators, the rate of decrease incidence in the clusters was lower than that outside the clusters. Conclusion The overall malaria burden is decreasing in Nepal as the country progresses closer to the elimination deadline. However, several spatiotemporal clusters showed increasing trends of malaria incidence. Furthermore, in clusters where a decreasing incidence trend was observed, the rate of decrease was far lower than the rate outside the cluster. Thus, it is necessary to focus vector control interventions in all these clusters. This information can help public health officials to make decisions for implementing vector control interventions to successfully eliminate malaria form the country.

“…Warming temperature and other climatic parameters connected with climate change should be taken into account when evaluating the risk of WNV disease spread [ 4 ]. Since the 1990s, both global and regional trends in climate change that may affect the distribution of vector-borne diseases have been observed in Russia [ 92 ]. Therefore, we analyzed the change in meteorological conditions that determine the favorability for WNV transmission during the period of official registration of human cases (1997–2019).…”

Spatial patterns of West Nile virus distribution in the Volgograd region of Russia, a territory with long-existing foci

et al. 2022

Southern Russia remains affected by West Nile virus (WNV). In the current study, we identified the spatial determinants of WNV distribution in an area with endemic virus transmission, with special reference to the urban settings, by mapping probable points of human infection acquisition and points of virus detection in mosquitoes, ticks, birds, and mammals during 1999–2016. The suitability of thermal conditions for extrinsic virus replication was assessed based on the approach of degree-day summation and their changes were estimated by linear trend analysis. A generalized linear model was used to analyze the year-to-year variation of human cases versus thermal conditions. Environmental suitability was determined by ecological niche modelling using MaxEnt software. Human population density was used as an offset to correct for possible bias. Spatial analysis of virus detection in the environment showed significant contributions from surface temperature, altitude, and distance from water bodies. When indicators of location and mobility of the human population were included, the relative impact of factors changed, with roads becoming most important. When the points of probable human case infection were added, the percentage of leading factors changed only slightly. The urban environment significantly increased the epidemic potential of the territory and created quite favorable conditions for virus circulation. The private building sector with low-storey houses and garden plots located in the suburbs provided a connection between urban and rural transmission cycles.
