Abstract

The global epizooticsituation in the recent decade is unfavorable regarding foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). FMD cases are reported on the territory of the Russian Federation in the Primorsky, Transbaikal, Khabarovsk, Krasnodar Territories, Amur and Vladimir Regions, Kara-chay-Cherkess Republic, Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, and the Republic of Bashkortostan; FMD cases are report-ed in cattle, pigs and sheep. In the Altai Region, the last FMD outbreak was reported in 1974. Within the framework of the FMD regionalization by the International Epizootic Bureau (IEB), Russia is divided into four zones: IEB-recognized favorable zone without vaccination which in-cludes most regions of Russia (52 regions); two IEB-recognized favorable zones with vaccination; and IEB-unrecognized zone, i.e.contaminated zone. In order to expand the export opportunities for agricultural products, three more zones were established which in the future in 2022 would receive the status of FMD-free with and without vaccination; the Altai Region entered the zone ofobtaining the status without vaccination. As part of measures to ob-tain a safe status without vaccination, the Altai Regional Veterinary Department, in agreement with the interested agencies, developed and approved the integrated FMD control program for the period from 2020 through 2025 that included preventive measures and monitoring studies of biological materials. As part of monitoring studies in 2020, the Federal Center for Animal Health in Vladimir and the ferent animal species for non-structural proteins of FMD virus by ELISA; the results were negative.
