CAMELPOX: BRIEF SCIENTIFIC OVERVIEW

Abstract

one of the most important issues in veterinary medicine and agriculture is the preservation and reproduction of livestock. During the Soviet Union era, camel breeding developed only in the western regions of Kazakhstan, and in the post-independence years it developed rapidly in the southern and south-eastern regions of the country. However, in recent years, the registration of camelpox has become a new problem in veterinary medicine, creating some obstacles to the development of camel breeding. This is evidenced by the outbreak of camelpox in the Mangistau region in 2019, which led to a decrease in livestock productivity and a decrease in livestock. In order to learn more about this infectious disease, which is considered the most dangerous for camels, the work of domestic and foreign scientists was conducted. The search was conducted using keywords in English and Russian from Internet resources. As a result of the research, 48 scientific works were analyzed, including 44 foreign articles published in English, 2 works in Russian, 2 research works of domestic scientists. This scientific review article provides a review of the scientific literature on the general description, distribution, epizootology, diagnosis and prevention of camelpox. The article summarizes and presents all the information on these sections in the form of an abstract in the state language.
