Abstract
Most blood parasitoses are transmitted by means of carriers - ticks or insects, which bodies undergo certain development stages or transmission is carried out mechanically. Dirofilariasis is a zoonotic disease of animals and humans carried by mosquitoes. The reasons for dirofilariasis spread are the unrestricted movement of animals from one region to another. To diagnose dirofilariasis, a microscopy method of a fresh blood drop was used. Diagnosis for babesiosis in animals was made based on clinical traits and results of microscopic examination of peripheral blood smears stained according to Romanovsky-Gimza. The study of the ixodic ticks’ prevalence as distribution sources of dog babesiosis was carried out in Barnaul in different parts of the city. The spring rise of babesiosis begins in late April and ends at the end of May, the summer period June-July is characterized by a low incidence rate. The autumn rise is from August to October, i.e., it coincides with ticks’ activity during this period. The incidence of ticks in Barnaul is not uniform. The largest range of ticks’ distribution is found in the highland part of the city.
Highlights
Most blood parasitoses are transmitted by means of carriers - ticks or insects, which bodies undergo certain development stages or transmission is carried out mechanically [4, 5]
The spring rise of babesiosis begins in late April and ends at the end of May, the summer period June-July is characterized by a low incidence rate
The average indicator of dog lesion with dirofilariasis amounts to 13.3%, babesiosis 40.6%, which remains an urgent problem
Summary
The Altai Krai is located in the south-eastern part of Western Siberia and borders with the following subjects of the Russian Federation: in the north - with the Novosibirsk region, on the north-east - with the Kemerovo region, in the south-east - with the Republic of Altai.In the south and south-west, the border of the Altai Krai coincides with the state border of Russia with the Republic of Kazakhstan [1].The most warm and dry is the flat western part of the region, which creates favorable conditions for the existence of species diversity of ticks and insects - carriers of infections and development of natural and focal diseases [2, 3].Most blood parasitoses are transmitted by means of carriers - ticks or insects, which bodies undergo certain development stages or transmission is carried out mechanically [4, 5].Such diseases include babesiosis and dirofilariasis in dogs.Babesiosis is a blood parasitic disease of domestic and wild mammals characterized by the phenomena of fever, anemia and yellowness of the mucous membranes, hemoglobinuria. The Altai Krai is located in the south-eastern part of Western Siberia and borders with the following subjects of the Russian Federation: in the north - with the Novosibirsk region, on the north-east - with the Kemerovo region, in the south-east - with the Republic of Altai. Most blood parasitoses are transmitted by means of carriers - ticks or insects, which bodies undergo certain development stages or transmission is carried out mechanically [4, 5]. Such diseases include babesiosis and dirofilariasis in dogs. Treatment or its absence leads to the death of the animal [5, 6, 7]
