The incidence of natural focal infections in the Ulyanovsk region

The sharp deterioration in the epidemiological situation of natural focal infections, which is currently observed, is largely due to political and economic instability in Russia and the CIS countries, the redeployment of troops, mass migration of the population, new economic conditions (in which diseases of domestic animals with zoonoses often remain unrecognized and unknown), uncontrolled development of profitable fisheries (catching ground squirrels and other animals in order to obtain valuable fur), violation of the stability of the systems of epizootic and epidemiological surveillance previously operating in the former USSR and insufficiently active preventive, antiepizootic and anti-epidemic measures.
