ECHINOCOCCOSIS IN YAKUTIA

Abstract

This article presents materials on the study of epizootology and epidemiology of echinococcosis in Yakutia. Echinococcosis in Yakutia occurs in both wild and domestic animals, and is one of the most dangerous infestations for humans. According to the degree of infection with mature cestodes and cystic echinococcosis of animals, the presence of natural foci is determined, where the fundamental factor is the circulation of the transmission of invasion from the final hosts to intermediate ones and vice versa. In most cases, human infection with echinococcosis occurs through contact with carnivorous animals, removal, processing of skins of harvested carnivores, with the carcass of harvested wolves, foxes exposed "for exotic photographing", when bringing frozen
carcasses of animals into residential premises and using wild plants contaminated with echinococcus oncospheres (berries, onions, herbs, etc.). Genotypes cestodes and larval cyst associated with the life cycles of livestock and found in the wild, which include wolves and moose, reindeer as hosts.

Keywords:

wild and domestic animals, population, Yakutia, infestation, species, Echinococcus granulosus, Alveococcus multilocularis, genotype.
