Assessing of Veterinary and Sanitary Measures against Glanders and the risk of disease introduction into Republic of Kazakhstan

Abstract

A possible revised sentence could be: "Veterinary and sanitary measures against glanders consist of preventing the introduction of the pathogen into the country, systematically monitoring the welfare of the horse population, preventing the spread of the disease, and implementing timely eradication or control measures in the event of an outbreak.
 This article presents the results of an analysis of veterinary and sanitary measures currently implemented against glanders in the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as the results of epizootological forecasting. Special measures for preventing glanders in horses in the territory of veterinary and sanitary well-being, which is Kazakhstan, include basic requirements such as quarantine, clinical examination, and negative malleinization test results for imported animals. Local veterinary services systematically monitor the well-being of the horse population and conduct annual scheduled allergy testing procedures, such as eye malleinization
 Outbreaks of glanders have not been recorded in the Republic since 1939, indicating the effectiveness of annual veterinary and sanitary measures. However, due to the intensive development of horse breeding and close economic ties of Kazakhstan with neighboring regions and countries where glanders is prevalent or endemic, the risk of introducing the pathogen into the Republic remains. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct ongoing epizootological monitoring, including short-term and long-term forecasting of glanders outbreaks, as well as analysis of veterinary and sanitary measures against the disease.
