Abstract

Cattle pasteurellosis is a dangerous infectious disease that leads to the death of farm animals just within a few days. This disease also spreads to many other wild animals, birds, and humans. Therefore, it is extremely important to understand the main manifestations of this disease and take timely measures to eliminate it. The study aimed to determine the strategy of veterinary and sanitary measures in the Republic of Kazakhstan for the prevention of pasteurellosis infection, based on the determination of zones by cattle pasteurellosis spread and the compilation of visualization maps using the results of the 2013-2021 monitoring. A clinical examination of cattle was carried out in the context of epizootological units within Kazakh economic entities and biomaterial for laboratory tests for pasteurellosis was selected. Pasteurella multocida isolates and strains were used in the experiments, and their cultural and morphological properties were studied. The obtained data from studies of the properties of isolated cultures in comparison with the characteristics of the reference strains gave grounds to attribute them to the Pasteurella genus. Based on the conducted study, epizootic visualization maps for cattle pasteurellosis for 2021 were developed.
