State of art epidemic situation and prognosis by major helminthoses of animals within the Russian Federation for 2018 (spring and the beginning of the grazing season)

Abstract

We had analyzed longstanding meteorological data (precipitation total and average monthly temperature of air, atmosphere relative humidity), pond and feeding ground condition in order to develop prognosis by major helminthiasis of farm livestock within Russian Federation for 2018. Combination of such limiting factors determines the importance of territory zoning for studying the regularity of helminthiasis epidemic processes. Data received in analysis of forms on veterinary medicine accountability for the previous years are taken into account. Obtained results are based on the initial registration of disease and animals mortality, diagnostic testing, on prophylaxis, medicative as well as veterinary and sanitary arrangements, which are held by institutes of state veterinary service and by Veterinary Health Office workers in other households, at enterprises, and also on transport and state boundary. Analysis of epidemic situation suggests that grazing season in 2018 will be unfavorable in relation to transfer of “grazing” helminthiasis.
