PARASITIC ANTHROPOZOONOSES OF WILD ANIMALS IN THE BORDER AREAS OF TRANSBAIKAL TERRITORY WITH MONGOLIA AND CHINA

Abstract

Results are given from monitoring of parasitic anthropozoonoses in wild animals in the border areas of Transbaikal Territory with Mongolia and China. Surveillance, sampling and investigation of the pathologic material were conducted at the territory of experimental research facility of the Research Institute of Veterinary Science of Eastern Siberia located in Akshinskiy District as well as in the following border areas: Mogochinskiy, Gazimuro-Zavodskiy, Nerchinsko-Zavodskiy, Kalganskiy, Priargunskiy, Krasnokamenskiy, Zabaikalskiy, Borzinskiy, Ononskiy, Kyrinskiy, Krasnochikoiskiy. The research material was the reporting data of veterinary and medical establishments, hunt inspections, reserves, and Rosstat. In the forest-steppe and taiga zones (in the north of Transbaikal Territory in Mogochinskiy, Gazimuro-Zavodskiy and Nerchinsko-Zavodskiy Districts, in the south in Akshinskiy, Kyrinskiy and Krasnochikoiskiy Districts) were recorded the great number of wild animals with the population of agricultural ones being low. In the steppe areas of the Territory, the livestock population prevails. As a result, agricultural animals kept in the forest-steppe and taiga areas of Transbaikal Territory are subject to the maximum risks to be infected with parasitic anthropozoonoses. In the border areas with Mongolia, the eight helminth anthropozoonoses were detected in predators (bear, wolf, lynx, and etc), six in noble ungulates (elk, red deer, Siberian roe, boar), five in dzerens annually migrating from Mongolia. At present, Mogochinskiy, Gazimuro-Zavodskiy, Nerchinsko-Zavodskiy, Akshinskiy, Kyrinskiy and Krasnochikoiskiy Districts of Transbaikal Territory are most dangerous in the epizootic terms for both wild animals and agricultural animals and humans. Animal life in the rest of border areas is poor, and of no danger in distributing helminth anthropozoonoses.
