Authors: Marchenko V. A. , Efremova E. A. , Smertina M. A. 
Published: May 2023

One of the problems of herd horse breeding of the Altai Mountains is significant
spread of helminth infections. The purpose of this research is to characterize the
epizootic situation on intestinal helminthiasis in the main horse-breeding areas
of the Altai Republic. Coproovoscopic studies of horse feces from 8 districts
(Mayminsky, Shebalinsky, Ongudaisky, Chemalsky, Ust-Koksinsky, Kosh-Agachsky
and Ulagansky) were carried out for eggs of intestinal helminths by the KotelnikovKhrenov flotation method with the counting of eggs according to the VIGIS method.
In total, 989 fecal samples from adult New Altai horses were examined. According to
the results of coprological examinations, indicators of infection were derived: IP, %,
the infection prevalence, the proportion of infected animals; mII is the arithmetic
mean of the number of eggs in 1 gram of feces (egg/g f.) per one examined animal. In
the horses of the Altai Mountains, pathogens of gastrointestinal helminth infections belonging to 5 suborders were recorded: Strongylata, Ascaridata, Anoplocephalata,
Oxyurata and Rabditata. To a greater extent, the horses were infected with
gastrointestinal Strongylata with an IP level of 76.2% and an egg count of 293
specimens in a gram of feces, and to a lesser extent with Parascarids (IP 11.2%)
and Anoplocephalida (IP 12.3%). The animals in the Chemalsky District were most
intensively infected with helminths (IP 96.3%), significantly lower than the horses
in the Kosh-Agachsky District (IP 62.3%).
PECULIARITIES OF REGIONAL EPIZOOTOLOGY OF DREPANIDOTAENIOSIS OF KUBAN GEESE IN THE KABARDINO-BALKAR REPUBLIC
Authors: Pashaev V. Sh. , Shogenov B. Yu. , Bittirov A. M. 
Published: May 2023

The article is devoted to the study of regional epizootology of drepanidotaeniosis of
geese of different age groups in the Kabardino-Balkar Republic (the KBR). The
distribution of drepanidotaeniosis in Kuban geese was studied in 2017–2021 on the
basis of complete helminthological dissections of the small intestine of 300 slaughtered
geese of different age groups. It was found that drepanidotaeniosis of geese has a mosaic
distribution with the coverage of the most part of outdoor young birds at the age of 2
weeks to 4 months. In the study of the Kuban geese, it was found that the prevalence
of invasion (IP) was characterized by high and moderate values. The average IP of
drepanidotaeniosis in the geese was 17.33±1.25%. In the Kuban geese in the context
of natural and climatic zones of the KBR, drepanidotaeniosis manifests itself with
threatening values of invasion intensity (II). Drepanidotaeniosis in the plain zone was
found with the II of 1–3 specimens/bird; in the foothill zone, 2–5 specimens/bird; and
in the mountainous zone, 1–2 specimens/bird (average 2.33±0.28 specimens/bird). Indicators of the IP and II of drepanidotaeniosis in the Kuban geese in the KBR tended
to increase in goslings aged 20 to 120 days. The opposite was observed in subsequent
age groups.
PROSPECTS FOR THE PRACTICE OF USING ORIGINAL LONG-ACTING AGROCHEMICAL PREPARATIONS TO CONTROL POPULATIONS OF PLANT PARASITES
Authors: Perevertin K. A. , Bamatov I. M. , Belolyubtsev A. I. 
Published: May 2023

One of the promising high-tech systems for the use of agricultural chemistry can
be the development of original forms of agrochemical preparations (fertilizers and
pesticides) of prolonged action. The slow-release polymeric composites formed
by our technology have a number of advantages. A single injection of preparations
during seeding allows avoiding multiple medical top dressings (for fertilizers) and
treatments (for pesticides) during the growing season. The most important principle
of the effectiveness of using agricultural chemistry is the linking of the timing of top dressings and treatments to the developmental phenophases of both plants and
parasites. Much depends on the characteristics of the development of parasites. For
example, larvae of cyst-forming nematodes are vulnerable to drugs during migration
in soil. However, the cyst-forming nematode of potato develops in one generation
for a season, and the cyst-forming nematode of beet develops in 3–4 generations.
In the latter case, additional use of modified forms of nematicides is possible. In
favor of drugs with prolonged action (apart from a multiple increase in economic
efficiency, especially in the event of a shortage of the drug), we should attribute the
technological possibility we have worked out to program the action of drugs. We
have adopted the following reference terms for prolongation, 1, 3 and 6 months.
Technologically, this is achieved by the polymer concentration in the composite. In
this case, our method can be used to take into account weather risks.
DETECTION OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GENUS CRENOSOMA MOLIN, 1861 IN WILD AND SYNANTHROPIC VERTEBRATES
Authors: Plieva A. M. , Balayeva R. I. 
Published: May 2023

Crenosomiasis is an invasive disease of carnivores caused by parasitizing in the
bronchi and trachea of nematodes Crenosoma vulpis, C. taiga, C. petrowi from
the genus Crenosoma Molin, 1861, family Crenosomatidae Schulz, 1951, and
superfamily Metastrongyloidea Lane, 1917. We have studied vertebrates of wild
fauna and synanthropic animals for parasitizing of helminths of the genus Crenosoma
Molin, 1861 in the adult and larval stages. Wild vertebrates (jackals, foxes, wolves,
wild boars) were delivered to us by hunters usually in autumn and winter. The
studies were carried out using the method of complete and partial helminthological
dissections per K. I. Skryabin. The obtained helminths were fixed as follows:
trematodes in 70% alcohol, nematodes in Barbagallo fluid, and labeled. The total
infection of animals with Crenosoma was 83.3%. Severe infection was detected in
foxes (83.3%) and hedgehogs (100%). Among wild vertebrates, one specimen of
Sus scrofa was examined by partial helminthological dissection, in whose lungs we
identified nematode Crenosoma sp. for the first time in the Republic of Ingushetia.
When analyzing the literature sources on the infection of wild boars with this type of
helminth in Russia, no data were found. Crenosoma sp. has been recorded in the wild
boar in Russia for the first time.

Published: May 2023

Mice are widely used as laboratory animals. Diagnosis of endoparasites is a
necessary condition: this is a culling indicator of animals for SPF (specific pathogen
free) vivariums, and for conventional vivariums, it is the necessary information
for planning and the possibility of using these animals in various tests. This
article describes live-time diagnostics of endoparasites in laboratory mice in SPF
vivariums and in open-type vivariums. For the study, individual samples of faeces
and bedding were taken from laboratory mice. Direct fecal smears were examined
and the flotation method was used. The work was carried out in 2021–2022 in the
Laboratory of Biology and Biological Basis of Preventive Measures of the VNIIP –
FSC VIEV. During this study, the following 180 samples were taken: 138 individual
faecal samples, 34 samples combined with the bedding, and 18 bedding samples.
The studied samples were found to contain Giardia muris and Tritrichomonas sp.,
nematodes Aspiculuris tetraptera and Syphacia obvelata, and cestode Rodentolepis
nana. Mixed invasions were also recorded. The results showed the need for planning
work with laboratory mice in vivariums.

Published: May 2023

Cyprinids as the second intermediate host are a source of infection of the definitive host
with zoonotic trematode infections. Currently in some regions of European Russia,
opisthorchiasis is constantly recorded in humans. This relates to the Lipetsk Region,
where the species diversity and distribution of opisthorchides, ecological biological
and epizootological aspects of the circulation of opisthorchidosis remain unstudied.
The materials were collected in 2021-2022 in the south-eastern part of the Lipetsk
Region on the Usman River. We studied 179 specimens of 4 Cyprinid species: the
roach (97 specimens), the bleak (41 specimens), the silver bream (21 specimens) and the rudd (20 specimens). The highest infection rates were observed for opisthorchide
metacercariae (Opisthorchis felineus, Pseudamphistomum truncatum, Metorchis bilis
and Metorchis xanthosomus) with the infection prevalence (IP) of 78.2%; the second
position was occupied by Posthodiplostomum cuticola with the IP 63.7%; they were
followed by Paracoenogonimus ovatus with similar parameters with the IP 21.8% and
Metorchis xanthosomus with the IP 19.6%. According to the results of our research, 6
species of trematode metacercariae including 3 opisthorchide species (O. felineus, P.
truncatum, M. bilis) of epidemiological significance were recorded for the first time
in cyprinid fish in the Lipetsk Region. For all metacercariae species, the current
parameters of infection in cyprinids were revealed.
DEFINITIVE HOSTS OF ALARIA ALATA (TREMATODA, STRIGEIDIDA) IN NATURAL CONDITIONS OF THE CENTRAL BLACK EARTH REGION (VORONEZH AND LIPETSK REGIONS)
Authors: Romashov B. V. , Romashova N. B. 
Published: May 2023

Currently in the Central Black Earth Region, an increase in cases of infection of wild
and domestic carnivores with the trematode Alaria alata (Trematoda, Strigeidida)
has been recorded. Helminthological materials were collected in the Voronezh
Nature Reserve and in adjacent territories (Voronezh and Lipetsk Regions) for
more than 20 years (2000–2022). More than 100 species of carnivorous mammals
of the Canidae family were studied. A. alata maritae were recorded in four predator
species: the wolf, fox, raccoon dog, and the domestic dog. The total infection rate in
4 Canidae species was 78.3%. The highest infection prevalence was registered in the
wolf, 97.0%, and the raccoon dog, 100%, and slightly lower in the fox, 81.8%. For
the domestic dog, the incidence of Alaria species was found at the level of 34.4%.
In the study area, the fox was the most numerous predator. The fox had significant
infection prevalence values and the highest relative abundance of maritae (infection
intensity and abundance index). A fairly large sample of foxes was studied in adjacent
territories that were mainly agricultural lands. Relatively high levels of infection were
detected: the IP 75.9%; the II 162.0; and the AI 122.9. The fox plays the leading role
in the circulation of alariosis in the Central Black Earth Region.
ANALYSIS OF CURRENT METHODS OF USING INSECTICIDAL PREPARATIONS TO PROTECT LIVESTOCK ANIMALS FROM BLOOD-SUCKING DIPTERANS (REVIEW)
Authors: Rotkin A. T. 
Published: May 2023

This article discusses current methods of using insecticidal preparations of the
synthetic pyrethroid group to protect livestock animals from insects of the midges
complex. Synthetic pyrethroids are the most widely used group of insecticides,
and their use in agriculture is considered to be the most effective and least toxic
in the insect control. The article analyzes insecticide application methods and
compares advantages and disadvantages of each method. The effective method
today is ultralow-volume spraying. This method is effective as it saves time spent
on treatments and has a long-lasting insecticidal effect. Another popular method is
a pour-on method which uses an insecticide applied to the withers along the spine.
These treatments are highly effective and safe for personnel but require an individual
approach, which takes a lot of time. The most environmentally friendly method is
polymer insecticide ear tags attached to the animal's auricle, but it only protects
the head, neck and front of the back. It is concluded that the choice of the method
depends on the task and the current trend towards environmental friendliness, while
the most promising methods for further development are pour-ons and insecticide
ear tags.

Northwestern Uzbekistan occupies a large area in the lower reaches of the Amu
Darya. The region is distinguished by peculiar natural and climatic conditions.
Most species of wild artiodactyls of the order Artiodactyla are represented here,
and sheep, goats and cattle are also raised here. However, the helminth fauna of the
study groups of mammals in North-Western Uzbekistan covering the territories of
the Khorezm Region and the Republic of Karakalpakstan remains poorly studied
to date. We have studied some features of the helminth fauna in domesticated and
wild cavicornians, Bovidae Gray, 1821, of North-Western Uzbekistan. The species
composition of helminths of the studied animals consisted of 26 species belonging to
3 classes, Cestoda, Trematoda and Nematoda. The helminth fauna of cavicornians
turned out to be uneven. Twenty six species of parasitic worms were recorded in
cattle, 23 species in sheep, 17 species in goats, 15 species in saigas, and 16 species
in goitered gazelles. The total helminth infection rate was 100% in sheep, 75% in
goats, 95.0% in cattle, 55.0% in saigas and 61.5% in goitered gazelle. The intensity of
invasion in the studied animals ranged from single to several dozen specimens. At the
same time, in most cases, mixed invasions of various combinations were detected.

Published: May 2023

One of the common helminth infections of horses in Uzbekistan and other countries
is parascaridosis. Infection of horses with the nematode Parascaris equorum (Goeze,
1782) in some regions of our country ranges from 27 to 38%. The purpose of
this work is to study the distribution of the nematode Parascaris equorum in the
northwestern and eastern regions of Uzbekistan, and the seasonal and age dynamics
of infection of horses with this nematode. The studies were carried out in the regions
of the Republic of Karakalpakstan and the Ferghana Valley during 2018-2023.
One hundred forty-three horses of different age groups in Karakalpakstan and 57
horses in the Fergana Valley were examined by the method of complete and partial
helminthological dissections per Skrjabin. Fecal samples from 264 horses were
studied using helminthocoprological methods. Parascaris infection rate in the horses
examined by the method of complete and partial helminthological dissections
averaged 33.6% in the study areas. Helminthocoprological methods were used to
study the seasonal and age dynamics of the Parascaris equorum infection in the
horses. Seasonal Parascaris equorum infection in the horses was 19.7% in spring, 25.4% in summer, 33.7% in autumn, and 35.2% in winter. Age-related invasiveness
of the horses with nematodes was registered at 40.4% in the animals under two years
old, 31.4% in the animals from two to five years old, and 24.6% in the animals over
five years old.

Published: May 2023

The purpose of the research is to study the chemical stability of triclabendazole (TCB)
in preparations obtained by its mechanochemical modification with polymeric
substances and succinic acid (SA), as well as samples of Triclafascid obtained in
2015–2022 and left for storage at a temperature of 18–25 0C and a relative
humidity of 55–60%. To achieve this goal, we selected samples of preparations
obtained earlier and in freshly prepared solid dispersions (SD) based on TCB, SA,
polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and arabinogalactan (AG). Modification of TCB by
polymeric substances was carried out at a weight ratio of components 1:9 in an LE101 ball mill at a rotation speed of 65–70 rpm with sampling for stability (integrity)
analysis of TCB by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The integrity
analysis of TCB in its SDs obtained in 2015–2022 showed that there was no chemical
destruction of TCB in them. The TCB substance is a stable chemical molecule
that is not affected by destruction either during machining or during succinic acid
treatment. The obtained SDs remain stable for TCB during storage for more than
7 years.

Published: May 2023

On the territory of the slaughterhouse located in the Moscow Region, a veterinary
and sanitary assessment of carcasses and internal organs was carried out in
accordance with the Customs Union Technical Regulations "On the safety of meat
and meat products" No. 68 TR CU 034/2013 dated 09/10/2013 for the infection with
larval cestodiasis. As a result, 3 species of pathogens were recorded: Echinococcus
granulosus, Cysticercus taenuicollis and Coenurus cerebralis. E. granulosus larvae was
detected in the parenchymal organs in 211 cases, which corresponds to 42.2%. It is
worth noting that the blister cavities were localized in the liver in 23.7%, in the lungs
in 15.6%, and in both organs in 2.9%. From 1 to 8 blisters were found. In addition
to echinococcosis, coenurus blister cavities were found in 2 animals, and Cysticercus
tenuicollis, in 22 sheep from the Karachay-Cherkess Republic; the IP was 2.0 and
22.4%, and tenuicollic cysticercosis infection in the Astrakhan and Volgograd
Regions was 2.9 and 6.0%, respectively. Such a wide spread of echinococcosis is
a fairly high indicator for such a particularly dangerous zoonosis, as parenchymal
organs can be a source of infection for dogs, and subsequently for humans.

Published: May 2023

The socio-economic role in the development of peasant farming in the current
conditions of import substitution will certainly increase, especially in filling local
and regional markets with agricultural products. The limiting factor of farms of
any form of ownership are parasitic diseases. Studies on the infection of livestock
animals were carried out at a peasant farm enterprise of the Dmitrov City District
of the Moscow Region. Feces were taken individually from each animal: cattle (70
lactating cows, and 32 young bulls on fattening), goats (15 milk goats, and 12 baby
goats kept together), 10 Vietnamese pot–bellied pigs, 2 horses and ponies. Based
on the conducted studies, it was found that the cattle, namely the lactating cows
and bulls on fattening were infected by pathogens of gastrointestinal strongylatosis
by 14.3 and 50%, and the milk and young goats, by 100%, which indicates a high
infection rate of these pathogens in ruminants. Also, the nematode Strongyloides
papillosus (IP=80%) and protozoa from the genus Eimeria (IP=53%) were identified
in the mature goats. In the Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs, horses and ponies, the most common helminth infections were identified, namely: Oesophagostomum (IP=50%)
and Ascaris suum (IP=80%) and pathogens from the Strongylata suborder, respectively.

The importance of wetlands for humanity is very high. They provide a huge number
of people in the world with their water and biological resources, determine the
stability of local climatic conditions, and serve as habitats for many sedentary and
migratory waterfowl and semiaquatic birds. In the reservoirs of the transboundary
rivers Amudarya, Syrdarya and Zarafshan (within Uzbekistan), numerous species
of wetland birds are concentrated, which are poorly studied in terms of parasitology.
The paper presents some features of the helminth fauna in wetland birds of NorthWestern, Central and North-Eastern Uzbekistan. The material for this work
was the collection of parasitic worms of waterfowl, marsh and semiaquatic birds
caught in the water bodies of the Amudarya, Syrdarya and Zarafshan river basins
(within Uzbekistan) during the hunting season (2018–2022). More than 750 birds
belonging to 40 species, 26 genera, 15 families and 9 orders were collected and
studied. The studied birds turned out to be infected with helminths of 4 classes,
Cestoda, Trematoda, Acanthocephala and Nematoda. One hundred seventeen
species were identified: 29 species belonged to the cestode class, the trematode
class was represented by 67 species, the nematode class, by 27 species, and the
acanthocephalan class by 4 species. Original data on the structure of the helminth
fauna of 9 orders of birds were presented. Various transmission ways of helminths to
the final hosts were elucidated.
THE STUDY OF EFFECTS OF АMINOTONE ON HEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL STATUS OF DOGS IN BABESIOSIS THERAPY

Published: May 2023

When dogs are invaded with Babesia, metabolic and detoxification processes
are disrupted. In this regard, the therapeutic regimen should include drugs that
contribute to the normalization of metabolism, and maintenance of liver and kidney
function. The purpose of our research was to study the effects of Аminotone on the
hematological and biochemical status of dogs during the treatment of babesiosis. For
this purpose, Forticarb was administered as an etiological agent to the animals of the
control group, and Аminotone was additionally administered to the experimental
dogs. Before the experiment and two weeks after the beginning of the treatment, blood
was taken from the dogs for hematological and biochemical studies. It was found that
the control and experimental animals showed a decrease in leukocytes, ESR, ALT and AST activity, urea, and creatinine and bilirubin concentrations after the recovery.
At the same time, an increase in erythrocytes, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume
and hemoglobin was recorded. Аminotone provided more intensive changes in the
dogs’ biochemical and hematological status: reduced inflammatory reaction, toxic
load on the liver and kidneys, and stimulated hematopoiesis, versus the control.
Thus, the drug can be recommended for the combined therapy of canine babesiosis.
TOXOPLASMOSIS AMONG THE POPULATION OF THE KRASNODAR TERRITORY
Authors: Shipkova L. N. , Shipkov N. V. , Kalmanovich S. V. , Cherednichenko A. K. 
Published: May 2023

The existing interest in the problem of toxoplasmosis is largely due to the fact that
Toxoplasma gondii plays a significant role in human pathology. Toxoplasmas enter
the human body in many ways: through the mouth when eating raw meat; with
contaminated products, vegetables or fruits; with dirty hands, after contact with
infected animals; through damaged skin, mucous membranes, when removing
skins from infected animals or dividing carcasses; in medical procedures in
patients with toxoplasmosis; and prenatally, from mother to fetus. Toxoplasmosis
is more common in children, while adults may remain asymptomatic carriers of the
pathogen. The reliability of invasion in humans is only established by the detection
of toxoplasma in the blood, sputum, cerebrospinal fluid, puncture samples of lymph
nodes, remnants of fetal membranes, placenta, etc. Therefore, the purpose of our
study is to determine the occurrence of toxoplasmosis in the Krasnodar Territory
for 5 years (2018–2022) and to identify organ systems that are affected most often.
Toxoplasmosis is widespread in the Krasnodar Territory. This is due to climatic
and geographical features. The study used data from outpatient medical records of
people with diagnosed toxoplasmosis who seek medical advice in infectious diseases
hospitals of the Krasnodar Territory.
