Abstract
Leptospirosis is one of the urgent problems of veterinary medicine and causes significant material damage to livestock, threatening human health and life. The paper presents the results of a study of the epizootic situation of the manifestation of leptospirosis among horses in the Omsk region for the period 2016-2020 and identifies unfavorable points for this disease. It was found that areas unfavorable for leptospirosis are mainly located in the forest-steppe zone of the Omsk region (Maryanovsky, Azovsky, Omsk, Moskalensky, Tyukalinsky, Is-ilkulsky, Lyubinsky, Kormilovsky) or on the border with the steppe zone (Tavrichesky and Azov). For the development of an epizootic of leptospirosis, there are pronounced prerequisites in the form of various reservoirs and free-living small mammals. The most intense epizootic situation is in the Maryanovsky district, where leptospirosis in horses is annually recorded.
