Abstract

Ecological inbalance, global change, new mode of lifestyle and increasing population cause the spread of zoonotic infectious diseases around the world and re-emergence disease among many others. The aim of this article is to summarize the situation of the important infectious diseases of the ruminants and horses in Mongolia. Some of these diseases have zoonotic potential, too. Livestock in Mongolia is an irreplaceable source of livelihood, labour force, means of transport, subsistence and companion as well as important component of the culture in this part of world. However, due to the wide-spread of these animals they also serve as a host and vector for many dangerous infectious diseases. Our overview focuses on the most important infectious diseases,mainly zoonoses in Mongolia and its current epizootologic status. People may be infected during contact with infected animals, though a more frequent path of infection is via foodstuffs of animal origin. Re-emerging infectious diseases are diseases that are already familiar to us and their increased occurrence is associated with a change in the process of transmission of infection.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Ecological unbalance, global changing, new mode of lifestyle and population increasing such as many causes the spread of zoonotic infectious diseases around the world and re-emergence disease. Authors give out, that the number of human anthrax was increased in the recent years and the border of the natural foci has been extended to the Gobi region, in the Gobi-Altai, Dundgobi aimags. The disease is characterized by reproductive disorders, abortion in the last trimester of the gestation and placentitis in females and epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis and orchitis with consequent sterility in males [36; 45] This infection disease, caused by Brucella melitensis, remains one of the most common zoonotic diseases worldwide with more than 500,000 human cases reported every year. Cryptosporidiosis is a primary cause by oocysts of genus Cryptosporidium and diarrhoeal clinical features in humans are known in all over the world [47; 48] Two children were infected with Cryptosporidium parvum in Selenge aimag in Mongolia [25]. In the study of [10] they reported, that from total 1707 serum samples were 9.2% (31 out of 338) goat, 3.6% (21 out of 590) of sheep and 5.9% (46 out of 779) cattle shown aimag
