Description
Summary:Leukemia is a common, untreatable chronic infectious cattle disease, causing significant losses to the agricultural sector of the economy of many countries, including the Russian Federation. The purpose of the study was to conduct a retrospective analysis of data on the spread and nature of the course of leukemia in the administrative territories of the Russian Federation with different epizootic conditions. The dynamics of the disease in certain regions (Krasnodar Territory, Tyumen, Sverdlovsk region) has been studied in detail. In the Tyumen region, it was found that the number of infected animals in the period from 2002 to 2022 decreased by more than 13 times, and over the past 5 years - by 2.5 times, the detection frequency in animals with lymphocytosis (hematological stage) has decreased by 10.6 times since 2013, and by 36 times since 2002. The main feature of the course of the disease in the region was a reduction in the average age of animals with an identified hematological stage of leukemia. The Sverdlovsk region has maintained stable well-being for the disease for 10 years. The cases of detection of infected animals registered in the region over the past 5 years are due to the unauthorized import of cattle into a private enterprise from neighboring administrative territories of the Russian Federation that are disadvantaged by leukemia. In the Krasnodar Territory, 823 disadvantaged settlements were registered in 2023. Despite this, from 2012 to 2022, there was a 7-fold decrease in animal infection with leukemia in the region, and a 12-fold decrease in the detection of the disease at the hematological stage.
