ОЦЕНКА НОЗОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО ПРОФИЛЯ ИНФЕКЦИОННЫХ БОЛЕЗНЕЙ СЕЛЬСКОХОЗЯЙСТВЕННЫХ ЖИВОТНЫХ АЛТАЙСКОГО КРАЯ

Infectious disease incidence rates in farm animals in Altai Territory for the period of 1964-2015 were analyzed based on the material from Altaian Territorial Station for Animal Dangerous Disease Control and the State Archive of Altai Territory. Epizootics were described by using the comparative-historical and comparative-geographical methods. Statistical data on the outbreaks, spread and elimination of infections in horses, pigs, cattle, sheep and goats were taken into consideration and analyzed; the proportion of farms having animal disease problems was revealed. There was carried out the retrospective analysis of the spread of 50 infectious diseases of bacterial, viral, chlamydial, mycotic, mycoplasmal and rickettsial etiology in four groups of farm animals with the purpose of identifying a source of pathogen. Pathologies were classified as to mechanisms of transmission. A study on a complex of etiological factors has shown that a group of bacterial diseases with alimentary mechanism of transmission prevails in the structure of infectious pathologies, and the sources of pathogens are domestic animals. It was found that viroses by their share in the structure of pathologies were not of significant epizootic importance, and since 1973 a considerable reduction in viral disease incidence has been recorded. With that, there are four epizootically important diseases in horses, ten groups of diseases in cattle, and in nines in pigs and small ruminants.
