Abstract
AIM: To qualitatively assess the impact of some anthropogenic factors (construction of industrial facilities, transport networks, intensification of agriculture) on natural foci of tularemia in the Rostov agglomeration.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The official data and reports of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Rosselkhoznadzor,” the data of the Department of Rospotrebnadzor for the Rostov region, the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Center of Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Rostov Region” of Rospotrebnadzor were analyzed. Zoological and parasitological studies were carried out in accordance with modern regulatory documents in force. The detection of F. tularensis markers in field samples was carried out using serological and molecular genetic methods.
RESULTS: It was found that the existing territories under natural protection of the Russian agglomeration restrict degradation processes, while maintaining the simultaneous coexistence of native species and synanthropic animals that make up the parasitic circulation system of the tularemia pathogen.
CONCLUSION: The qualitative assessment of anthropogenic pressure/action can probably be interpreted as “conditionally neutral.” This could lead to potential risks of infection of the unvaccinated population of the Rostov agglomeration in natural foci of tularemia. The dynamism of the processes of anthropogenic action requires constant monitoring of the changes in the species diversity of carriers and vectors, their abundance, and infection in the natural foci of tularemia in the Rostov agglomeration.
