Molecular evaluation of spp. Infection in the Volga-Ural Saiga antelope population of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Saiga antelope () is a protected species in Kazakhstan. Little is known about the parasitofauna of these mammals. Therefore, the focus of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and species diversity of spp.

Genetic diversity and haplotype analysis of cattle hydatid cyst isolates using mitochondrial markers in Kazakhstan.

Background And Aim: In Kazakhstan, the study of infection among farm animals is crucial to monitor the invasion among livestock and map the data obtained. Unfortunately, there are only partial data on the study of among cattle's in Kazakhstan, which makes it difficult to conduct a comparative analysis of the epidemiological situation among livestock animals. The present study aimed to molecularly identify the species and haplotypes of the complex infecting cattle in Kazakhstan and investigate their genetic variation relative to mitochondrial (mt) targets.

A survey of the parasites of Ural saiga antelopes and Turkmenian kulans of Kazakhstan.

Saiga antelope and Turkmenian kulans are considered critically endangered and near threatened, respectively, by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Due to these species' fragile status, it is important to understand the pathogens infecting their remaining populations. A total of 496 faecal samples were collected from Ural saiga antelope in western Kazakhstan during June, September, and November of 2021 and May and August of 2022 and 149 faecal samples were collected from kulans in the Altyn-Emel nature reserve in south-eastern Kazakhstan from June to August of 2021.

Studies on the population biology of helminth parasites of fish species from the Caspian Sea drainage basin.

The northern section of the Caspian Sea and lower reaches of the Zhaiyk (Ural) River is an important fishery for Kazakhstan. In the present study, a total of 1597 individuals of ten fish species were analysed. The fish were caught over three years, from 2018 to 2020.

Helminth Parasites of Fish of the Kazakhstan Sector of the Caspian Sea and Associated Drainage Basin.

The northern section of the Caspian Sea is an important fishery for Kazakhstan. In the present study, a total of 606 individuals of 13 fish species were collected. For each of , , , , , , , , , , , and 50 individuals were examined whilst 6 individuals of were examined.

Genotypes of isolated from domestic livestock in Kazakhstan.

The diversity and importance of Echinococcus species in domesticated animals in Kazakhstan are poorly understood. In this study, 17 cysts of Echinococcus were collected from cattle and a further 17 cysts from sheep. DNA was extracted from the individual cysts and used for polymerase chain reaction amplification of mitochondrial subunit 1 of the cox1 and nadh1 gene.

Rabies in Kazakhstan.

Background: Rabies is a neglected zoonotic disease. There is a sparsity of data on this disease with regard to the incidence of human and animal disease in many low and middle income countries. Furthermore, rabies results in a large economic impact and a high human burden of disease.

Epidemiology of echinococcosis in Kazakhstan: an update.

Kazakhstan is highly endemic for echinococcosis. Both Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis are widely distributed in the country.

Epidemiology of fishborne trematodiasis in Kazakhstan.

Fish borne trematodes are an important cause of morbidity in Kazakhstan. The number of human cases of opisthorchiidosis (infection with parasites of the family opisthorchiidae) reached a peak of 2521 recorded cases (17 cases per 100,000) in 2002 with a gradual decline to 1225 cases (7.4 cases per 100,000) in 2011.

Frequency distributions of helminths of wolves in Kazakhstan.

Between 2001 and 2008 a total of 41 wolves (Canis lupus) were necropsied in southern Kazakhstan and their intestinal parasite fauna evaluated. Of these animals 8 (19.5%) were infected with Echinococcus granulosus, 15 (36%) with Taenia spp, 13 (31.

Modelling the transmission dynamics of Echinococcus granulosus in dogs in rural Kazakhstan.

Cystic echinococcosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is an emerging disease in many parts of the world and, in particular, in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. This paper examines the abundance of infection of E. granulosus in the definitive host in southern Kazakhstan.

Modelling the transmission dynamics of Echinococcus granulosus in sheep and cattle in Kazakhstan.

Cystic echinococcosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is an emerging disease in many parts of the world and, in particular, in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. This paper examines the abundance and prevalence of infection of E. granulosus in cattle and sheep in Kazakhstan.

The changing epidemiology of echinococcosis in Kazakhstan due to transformation of farming practices.

In recent years there has been a substantial increase in cystic echinococcosis in Kazakhstan. There are several factors that have contributed to this change in the epidemiology of the disease. The primary reason was the degradation of traditional nomadic system of livestock breeding and closing of large collective farms.

The emerging epidemic of echinococcosis in Kazakhstan.

Since independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 the annual surgical incidence of cystic echinococcosis in Kazakhstan has increased from 1.4 cases/100,000 in 1991 to 5.9 cases/100,000 in 2000.
