Accidental and deliberate movement of animals and pathogens of natural focal infections to new territories

Abstract

Numerous facts of both intentional and accidental (along with food and industrial goods) movement of various animal species together with their ectoparasites from one region to another by all types of vehicles are known. Uncontrolled animals and their ectoparasites can potentially be infected with pathogens of especially dangerous natural focal infections, which constitutes a certain threat to the human population, that is, to the epizootic and epidemiological well-being of a particular region and the country as a whole. Therefore, strict control over the observance of all quarantine measures is necessary to prevent the delivery of any species of animals infected with natural focal infections to new territories.
