3 Alexeyenkova S.V. Distinctive properties of hypervirulent strains of equine herpesvirus type 1 genotype A2254 circulating in Russia
The article presents the results of screening of samples taken from horses during acute outbreaks of abortion and neurological disorders registered in 2019-2021 in Russia. The causative agent was equine herpes virus type 1 (EHV-1). The results of this work indicate the frequency of mutations in conserved regions of the EHV-1 genome (ORF30, ORF11). New viruses registered on the territory of the Russian Federation are closely related to EHV-1 strains that have been circulating in Europe in recent years (2016 – 2019). In accordance with the structure of the genome, they belong to the "wild" genotype A2254 due to the absence of the 752 ORF30 mutation, and in accordance with the phenotype they are highly virulent. Point mutations characteristic of viruses found only in 2021 may be preferred targets for new PCR-based diagnostic methods. Key words: equine rhinopneumonitis, viral abortion, EHV-1, genotype A2254, horses, diagnostic.

EXPERIMENT, PROBLEMS, PERSPECTIVES
11 Makarov D.A., Gergel M.A. Three challenging problems of honey official control: adulteration of honey (part 3)
Three actual problems of beekeeping and related challenges of official control in Russia are described in this review article: the problem of antibacterial residues in honey, the problem of honey adulteration, and the problem of harmful impact of pesticides on bees. The extent of harmful impact of pesticides on bees is a debated question. In EU 3 neonicotinoids, belonging the most harmful for bees, are no longer used. In different countries, including Russia, pesticides become the cause of bee poisoning. Mass mortality of bees in Russia in 2019 led to the enforcement of pesticide legislation aimed to protect beekeepers. Key words: beekeeping, official control, honey, antibiotic residues, adulteration, pesticides.

15 Gulyukin A.M., Belimenko V.V., Shabeikin A.A., Tsaregradsky P.Yu., Patrikeev V.V. Epizootic situation on African swine fever in nature conservation areas
The article provides information about the epizootic situation on African swine fever in Nature Conservation Areas in the Russian Federation in 2015 – 2021. Total for the period from 2015 to 2021. ASF outbreaks were registered in 30 Nature Conservation Areas. In twenty-two Nature Conservation Areas, diseased animals were detected within one calendar year, in five the ASF epizootic lasted two years, and in three the circulation of the ASF virus in the wild boar population took a period with a total duration of three years. An analysis of the features of the manifestation of the epizootic process showed that the anthropogenic factor is the main factor in the spread and maintenance of the ASF epizootic. The geography of disease has differences from vectors (soft ticks) range. Ecological characteristics of the habitat and the density of the wild boar population in the Russian Federation allow to regard ASF in wildlife as a secondary infection, without the potential for independent and long-term continuation. Key words: African swine fever, epidemiological monitoring, geoinformation technologies, risk analysis and assessment.

28 Afonyushkin V.N., Donchenko N.A., Koptev V.Yu., Fudi Yang, Barsukova E.N., Kozlova O.S. "Small" biotechnology or farm-oriented biotechnology in veterinary medicine - an analogue of personalized medicine
The problem of infectious food safety has escalated in recent years, including due to the restriction of the use of antibiotics, combined with an increase in the number of cases of detection of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. The purpose of the work – to study the mechanisms for the implementation on the territory of the Russian Federation of systems of anti-epizootic measures using products of small-scale, "small" biotechnology. The use of autogenous vaccines and bacteriophages for the needs of a single farm requires a revision of methodological approaches to the diagnosis of infections. The narrow specificity of the above drugs implies the need to accurately identify the strain/serotype of the infectious agent and confirm its epizootic/epidemic significance, incl. methods of molecular epizootological analysis. Developments using «small, small-scale, biotechnology» aimed at individual farms will complement classical vaccines and antibiotics, diagnostic test systems that do not have sufficient versatility to address a number of new infectious threats to agriculture. On the other hand, the most successful solutions achieved using small-scale biotechnological developments can and should be used for further scaling up in large biotechnological productions for wide use. Key words: autogenous vaccines, bacteriophages, molecular epizootology, small-scale biotechnology.

35 Nikolaev S.V., Romanenko T.M., Bessolitsyna E.A. Molecular diagnostics and prevalence of hemosporidiosis among reindeer of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug
The aim of the research was to study the prevalence of blood parasitic infestations in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) of the Nenets breed in the region of the Low-Earth tundra. The diagnosis was carried out by light microscopy of stained blood smears, as well as using PCR. The nucleotide sequence of primers for molecular diagnostics was selected using the NCBI database and the AliBee-Multiple alignment Release 3,0 program. Microscopic blood tests (n=49) revealed that anaplasmosis occurs in 10,2 % of animals, and babesiosis in 1,3 %. During PCR diagnostics, anaplasmosis was detected in 14,3 % of deer, babesiosis – 53,1%, and teileriosis – 10,2 %. Coinvasia Babesia spp.+Theileria spp. It was found in 8,2% of deer, Anaplasma spp.+ Babesia spp. in 2,0 %. Anaplasmosis was mainly registered in vazhenok and calves (21,4 %), and to a lesser extent in choirs (11,3 %). Teileriosis was found in 21,4 % of calves and 14,3 % of calves. Choirs were carriers of babesiosis in 72,7 % of cases, calves – 85,7 %, vazhenki – 42,9 %. The parasite carriers had no visualized clinical signs of invasion, and the morphological composition of the blood was characterized only by a lower content of lymphocytes (by 40,7%; P<0,05) compared with non-invasive animals. Thus, hemosporidosis is widespread among reindeer living in the region of the Low-Earth tundra. Key words: anaplasmosis, babesiosis, teileriosis, polymerase chain reaction, reindeer.

48 Plemyashov K.V., Semenov B.S., Kuznetsova T.Sh., Korochkina E.A., Nikitin V.V., Khusainova G.S., Krutikova A.A. Displacement of abomasum in highly productive dairy cows
Food security of the country is an important and priority area of agriculture. The health of animals and the increase in their productive potential form the economic basis for the implementation of the tasks set. The displacement of the abomasum in productive cows leads to a decrease in productivity and untimely premature culling of animals from the herd. 67 cows of the Holsteinized Black-and-White breed were examined with a diagnosis of abomasum displacement from a total population of 1500 heads. The frequency of distribution of left-sided displacement of the abomasum is 925 %, right-sided – 7,5 % of all sick animals. In 77,6 % of heads, clinical signs of the disease appeared in the first 10 days after calving. The highest incidence rate occurs during the winter months. In the surgical treatment of animals, the use of the method with suturing of the pyloric part of the abomasum to the lateral abdominal wall leads to a favorable outcome and preservation of the productivity of the animal. Key words: the dairy cattle, the milk production, the abomasum displacement, the seasonal disorders.

The article presents the results of studies aimed at describing the main clinical signs indicating a positive biological sample in laboratory animals for alimental-toxic paroxysmal myoglobinuria (ATPM) or Gaffa disease. One of the first signs is a decrease in appetite in animals of experimental groups, which appeared in a third of experimental animals on days 2 – 4, and later was recorded in all animals. At the same time, with a decrease in appetite, a significant decrease in body weight in animals in the experiment by 27,97±5,21% was observed (during the entire experiment). In 93,1% of mice in the experiment, ruffle was observed for the first eight days, 82,76 % noted conjunctivitis with blephoroptosis. "Frog pose" was observed in 72,41 % of all experimental mice. From day 9 to day 14 of observations, the animals took the "shape of a triangle," and also recorded tremors of the head and limbs. The death of mice since the adoption of the "triangle shape" was recorded after 48 – 96 hours. Key words: gaffa disease, alimental-toxic paroxysmal myoglobinuria, clinical signs, laboratory animals.
