Mapping modeling of the distribution of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis was made in different regions of the Kyrghyz Republic. The results of determination of rifampicin resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT) by the biochip test were used to examine 904 MBT DNA samples taken when examining the patients living in different regions of the Kyrghyz Republic: Bishkek (n = 323), the Chui (n = 185), Issyk-Kul (n = 68), Naryn (n = 75), Talas (n = 47), Osh (n = 65), Dzhalal-Abad (n = 90), and Batken (n = 51) Regions. Comparison of the distribution of drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis by different regions revealed that rifampicin-resistant MBT strains were more frequently encountered in the densely populated regions of the republic - Bishkek and the Chui Region. Rifampicin resistance in MBT was caused by mutations in codons 531, 526, 522, 516, 511, 513, 512, and 513 of the rpoB gene. At the same time, there was a predominant selection of MBT with mutations in codons 531, 526, 516, and 511 in the republic. The spectrum of mutant MBT strains occurring in some regions varied. The broadest spectrum of genetic variability was observed in Bishkek and the Chui Region. Thus, Bishkek and the Chui Region are the hot points of concentration of mutant rifampicin-resistant MBT strains.

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the Kyrghyz racerunner ( Bedriaga, 1905) from Kyrgyzstan was determined for the first time by next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome was 20,840 bp in length and comprised the standard set of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The 13 concatenated PCGs were used to implement Bayesian phylogenetic analyses together with some congeners and three representative lacertids retrieved from GenBank.

The objective of the present study was to elucidate the specific ethnic and territorial peculiarities of the papillary patterns on the fingers of the Russians, Kyrghyz, and Uzbeks for the development of the criteria for the purpose of differential diagnostics. The materials for the analysis included the fingerprint cards obtained from 3570 Russians, 118 Kyrghyz, and 73 Uzbeks (men at the age from 14 to 25 years). We compared the data on the occurrence of different types of the papillary patterns.

These stages comprised: 1) modification of accounting and reporting forms in accordance with the requirements of the uniform statistical tuberculosis registration system; 2) development, adaptation, and introduction of an electronic tuberculosis monitoring and management system (ETMMS) in the regions and countries of Central Asia; 3) epidemiological analysis of information of tuberculosis monitoring systems, by using the elements of evidence-based medicine. At present, policy electronic tuberculosis monitoring systems entirely cover the areas of three countries of the region.

The Kyrghyz Republic, located in the southeastern region of the former Soviet Union, maintains a population of more than one-half-million persons and is heavily dependent on Lake Issyk-Kyol, both to draw tourists to the area and for its utilization by some as a food and recreation source. Historical surveys, conducted primarily for geological exploration, have indicated that localized areas of shoreline on Lake Issyk-Kyol have relative radiation levels in excess of ambient background by as much as a factor often. Uranium mining operations in the mountains bordering the lake to the south may have resulted in the contamination of a number of areas on the lake's southern shore.
