Molecular identification of (Gedoelst, 1920) from the Eurasian badger () and ascarids from other wild carnivores in Kazakhstan.

Introduction: The presence of gastrointestinal nematodes, including zoonotic ascarids, in wild canids, felids and mustelids as definitive hosts in Central Asian countries has been documented in many studies based on traditional morphological methods. In contrast, relevant data for the badger are scarce. The aim of this study was the molecular identification of ascarid nematodes from five wild carnivore species in different regions of Kazakhstan.

Epizootiological monitoring of wolf helminths in Northern and Central Kazakhstan.

Background And Aim: Wolves () play a role in nature, including the regulation of the number of ungulates and the use of dead animals. In addition, wolves are a natural link and carrier for the spread of many parasitic invasions. Hence, the main task in preventing the spread of parasitic invasions is to regulate the wolf population.

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.

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Bacterial Pathogens Associated with Leaf Mottle of Sunflower in Northern Kazakhstan.

Leaf mottle is a serious disease in the common sunflower ( L.), which affects plant growth and development and seed quality and yield. Over the past few years, the North Kazakhstan region, a sunflower-producing area in Kazakhstan, has been seriously affected by leaf mottle.

First report of stem rot of Adenium obesum and leaf spot of Persea americana caused by Aspergillus niger in Kazakhstan.

Adenium (Adenium obesum) and avocado (Persea americana) are commonly grown as exotic houseplants in city apartments of Kazakhstan. In April-May 2020, the wilting symptom was observed on the young stems of five 2-year-old A. obesum plants in a city apartment in Saryarqa District, Astana, Kazakhstan (71°25'E, 51°11'N).

First Record of Alternaria alternata causing necrosis of Thuja (Thuja occidentalis) in Kazakhstan.

Thuja is one of the ornamental plants used for landscaping parks and health resorts. The plant is distinguished by a pyramidal and conical crown shape and the presence of many thin branches with scale-shaped needles, green all year round. In addition, this plant has a number of antimicrobial properties, which affects the popularity of the plant in landscaping the health resort territory (Bakht et al.
