Application of mapping for epizootic assessment of brucellosis on the example of a single region

The creation of databases on infectious animal diseases and the development of geoinformation systems for the purpose of monitoring the epizootic situation with subsequent implementation in wide veterinary practice is the best solution to the problem of creating a unified picture of the epizootic situation. Mapping the dynamics of spatial and temporal changes in the epizootic situation can significantly increase the efficiency of the analysis of the origin, formation and spread of epizootic foci of infectious diseases. On the example of a single region of cattle unfavorable for brucellosis, the ways of penetration of the pathogen, the activity of the manifestation of an outbreak of infection, the ways of its spread, and, in general, the possibility of assessing the effectiveness of ongoing health measures have been established. The purpose of this study was to study the features of the epizootic process of brucellosis in cattle on the territory of the Saratov region, using mapping of its manifestation in time and space.
