Epizootic situation on sheep pox and goat pox in Tajikistan in 2000–2021 by R. Atovullozoda

“…The obtained results confirming the methodological validity of the epizootic situation analysis carried out in 2016 and correctness of the developed models of potential sheep pox and goat pox nosoareals, can become the basis for epizootological prediction of infectious disease risk when the pathogen interacts with susceptible animal population in specific climatic, socio-economic, organizational and managemental conditions. Based on systemic epidemiological analysis of the structure and dynamics of nosoareals, as well as risk assessment of sheep pox and goat pox entry, emergence and distribution, monitoring and establishment of infected and endemic zones, the features and patterns of distribution and occurrence of these diseases’ epizootic process were defined, which confirms the need for a systematic approach to epidemiological surveillance of highly dangerous and economically significant infectious diseases having a trend for transboundary spread, which will facilitate the solution of the problem regarding identification of possible threats and the implementation of veterinary and sanitary measures in case of disease occurrence in the territory of any country to ensure animal disease freedom.…”
