Analysis of the 1991-2006 statistical data of the Amur Region has indicated that the prevalence of tuberculosis does not depend on the level of ambient air pollution, the total amount of mercury-containing pesticides introduced into the plough-lands, and the environmental emission of metallic mercury at gold mining. The established set and the level and ratio of major mineral and trace elements in the blood of healthy individuals are suggestive of their adaptation to the specific geochemical environment. The excess and deficiency of major mineral and trace elements in the blood of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis result from the occurring pathomorphological, pathophysiological, metabolic, and other disorders that hamper the excretion of toxicants.

Unique Nucleotide Polymorphism of African Swine Fever Virus Circulating in East Asia and Central Russia.

December 2024
Federal Centre for Animal Health, 600901 Vladimir, Russia.
The lack of data on the whole-genome analysis of genotype II African swine fever virus (ASFV) isolates significantly hinders our understanding of its molecular evolution, and as a result, the range of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) necessary to describe a more accurate and complete scheme of its circulation. In this regard, this study aimed to identify unique SNPs, conduct phylogenetic analysis, and determine the level of homology of isolates obtained in the period from 2019 to 2022 in the central and eastern regions of Russia. Twenty-one whole-genome sequences of genotype II ASFV isolates were assembled, analyzed, and submitted to GenBank.

- The text provides taxonomic, diagnostic, and faunistic information on 30 species belonging to three genera of the Gyrophaenina subtribe found on Kunashir Island, marking the first records of Agaricochara and Sternotropa from Russia.
- Eleven new species are described from Kunashir and other regions, including various species of Gyrophaena and Sternotropa, highlighting their unique characteristics.
- Additionally, the study includes the redescription of three existing species and establishes several new synonymies for Gyrophaena species based on the examination of types and additional materials.

Article Synopsis
- - Southwest Primorye is home to about 9% of the wild Amur tiger population, which has significantly recovered from fewer than 10 individuals in 1996 due to decades of conservation efforts.
- - A study using non-invasive genetic analysis found 32 Amur tigers and identified issues like low genetic diversity and signs of past population bottlenecks, raising concerns about inbreeding.
- - The findings underscore the necessity to create ecological corridors to connect to other tiger populations for improving genetic diversity and ensuring long-term conservation.
Epidemiological Surveillance and Genomic Characterization of Soochong Virus From Apodemus Species Using Multiplex PCR-Based Next-Generation Sequencing, Republic of Korea.

Article Synopsis
- Orthohantavirus hantanense is a significant public health threat in Eurasia, causing hemorrhagic fever; while the primary causing agent in the Republic of Korea (ROK) is the Hantaan virus, the Amur virus (AMRV) may also be transmitted to humans from rodents in China and Russia.
- A study of rodents in Gangwon Province from 2015 to 2018 found that 16.1% tested positive for the Soochong virus (SOOV), with complete genomic sequencing revealing five novel whole-genome sequences, highlighting particular regions in Hongcheon-gun and Pyeongchang-gun.
- Phylogenetic analysis showed distinct evolutionary patterns between
