Article Synopsis
  • Anthrax is a major zoonotic disease concern in Kazakhstan, particularly affecting public health and agriculture, with annual outbreaks primarily in West Kazakhstan.
  • A survey was conducted from January to May 2022 involving 489 participants in Baiterek province to assess community knowledge, attitudes, and practices about anthrax; it's the first of its kind in the country.
  • The findings revealed significant gaps in awareness, with over 50% lacking knowledge about the disease's zoonotic nature and symptoms, though interest in livestock vaccination was high, especially among older respondents.

The presence of significant areas used for pastures in Kazakhstan makes it relevant to study the epizootic situation in terms of the incidence of animals during their grazing. The most frequent and dangerous diseases during this period are clostridiosis and listeriosis, which cause significant damage to livestock. Monitoring studies of the dynamics of morbidity among animals for infectious diseases during the grazing period were carried out on the basis of veterinary reporting.

The purpose of the study is to identify and isolate the causative agent of Salmonella sheep abortion in the sheep breeding industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The study aims to provide a basis for the development and testing of vaccines against salmonella sheep abortion using the isolated epizootic strains of Salmonella abortus-ovis AN 9/2 and Salmonella abortus-ovis 372 as control strains for immunogenicity testing. Biomaterials and pathologic materials were investigated of 114 abortions, dead ewes, and newborn lambs using the bacteriological method with the diagnostic purpose from 2009 to 2019.

Background And Aim: The Aujeszky's disease, also known as Pseudorabies, remains one of the most problematic fulminant diseases in domestic animals, affecting the central nervous system. The study aimed to investigate the effect of an inactivated vaccine against Aujeszky's disease based on "Kordai" virus strain.

Materials And Methods: To test the inactivation of the "Kordai" strain (grown by the roller method in VNK-21/13 cell culture with an infectious titer of at least 7.

In Latin and Central America and in most Asian countries, brucellosis remains an insufficiently studied disease. This study aims to determine the national and regional incidence of brucellosis among cattle (cows) and small ruminants (sheep, goats) in the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as to identify the effect of climatic and geographical factors on the incidence rates. Thematic maps were created in an open geographic information system QGIS version 2.

The purposes of this study were to determine phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of Brucella isolates from the Republic of Kazakhstan and to determine their biotype. The focus was laid on culture-morphological, biochemical, and biological properties of 59 Brucella isolates from primary cultures. Material was isolated from blood and tissue of serum-positive killed, dead diseased, or aborted domestic cattle from different regions of Kazakhstan where brucellosis is a common problem.
