The Russian Federation was officially recognized free from peste des petitts ruminants (PPR). As far as the disease infects both domestic and wild small ruminants, it is important to identify the level of the threat associated with the wild fauna diversity in the neighboring countries, where PPR outbreaks were reported. For that reason, habitats of various disease susceptible animal species were examined. Habitats of the wild susceptible animals were mapped for further examination of the interactions between different animal species using zoological research data; PPR outbreaks in wild animals were also designated in the map thus allowing for the detection of the potential routes of the infection spread in the population and introduction to the country. Analysis of the PPR epidemic situation in the country demonstrated that the disease cases were reported in wild mountain animals (ibices and moufflons) and migratory steppe animals (gazelles and saigas). Risk of this highly contagious viral disease spread in wild small ruminants in Mongolia was reported (probability 0.77). Expert survey was carried out for the determination of possible trends and factors of the infection introduction with the wild susceptible animals, through which small ruminant epizootologists assessed the risk probability. During the survey it was determined that PPR was expected to be introduced from Mongolia (probability 0.81), and of major significance were seasonal migrations of wild animal populations. The resulted semi-quantitative parameters of the potential risk can be recommended for the arrangement and implementation of measures aimed at prevention of PPR introduction and spread in the intact domestic and wild small ruminant populations inhabiting the territory of the Russian Federation.

Animal traps have always accompanied man, with whom the primary people organized the first hunts. Along with the development of hunting art, traps gradually gave way to specialized hunting weapons. However, the use of animal traps on a large scale still occurs in countries that are world exporters of fur and skins of wild animals - Canada, Russia and the USA. Driven by expressed in art. 13 TFEU with the principle of animal welfare, the European Union has introduced a number of regulations to ensure humane catches in member countries as well as in third countries exporting skin and fur. The purpose of this article is to analyze the current legal situation in Poland with regard to the implementation of EU legislation on humane trap standards, with particular regard to the obligations contained in the agreement concluded between the European Community, Canada and the Russian Federation on 22 July 1997 - on international humane trapping standards .

Rabies is a zooanthroponotic disease, causing significant economic damage, resulting from losses due to livestock deaths, costs of preventive measures and diagnostic tests. The disease is transmitted through biting or licking of damaged skin or mucosa. The disease is absolutely fatal and practically all warm-blooded animals are susceptible to it. The paper presents the analysis of statistical data on rabies morbidity and mortality among humans and animals; the assessment of epidemic situation in the Russian Federation, including the target population vaccination coverage and effectiveness evaluation of measures, taken in Russia to prevent rabies spread. The major causes of human mortality are considered. The recommendations on decreasing the disease spread risks are given. It was established that about 60 thousand human deaths and 45 thousand animal deaths from rabies have been reported in the Russian Federation within the past 10 years (from 2010 to 2019). Moreover cases of licking/scratching/biting of humans (397,248 cases in 2019, out of them 10,232 by wild animals) are reported every year. The sources of human infection within the mentioned period were dogs (39%), foxes (18%), cats (14%), raccoon dogs (14%), wolves (4%), polar foxes (4%), ferrets (4%), unknown sources (3%). The analysis of data from veterinary reports showed that the most rabies-infected regions are the Central and Volga Federal Districts. Using the mathematical modeling of the epidemic process the results of preventive measures, taken by the Veterinary Service in case of rabies in the region, were evaluated.

Emergence as a little discussed  bioecological phenomenon in infectious pathology, the most important in the current period, its actual significance, nature, causes in general terms and in relation to the situation in the Russian Federation is considered. In this context, the main provisions, problems and non-trivial phenomena in the epizootology of emergent infections, economically and socially important for the country, are presented - African swine fever, rabies, foot and mouth disease, avian flu, nodular dermatitis and anthrax. Most emergent infections of domestic animals and humans are of zoogenic origin. These are mainly (more than 70%) diseases of the wild animals - ungulates, carnivores, primates, rodents, birds, bats, representatives of other mammals and non-mammal groups, the causative agents of which come from natural zoonotic pools. It is obvious that the achievements of human civilization over the past decades are the driving forces for the emergence and spread of emergent diseases although indirect, but decisive.  The most demonstrative evidence of this conclusion is an infection associated with bats. The movement of people, tourism and trade, hydropower, agrarian expansion, deforestation, amelioration, unrestrained humanization and urbanization of territories, with unpredictable consequences, perturb the prevailing relations between representatives of the animal world and the environment. One of the subjective elements of the phenomenon is the large-scale traffic of wild animals from biological invasions, artificial introduction into new territories and trade in living goods. At the same time, the emerging problems of protecting animals and humans from new highly dangerous, transboundary and other infections are difficult to solve from a social and mental point of view - they compromise the overall socio-economic, scientific and technological progress, focusing on its negative aspects and internal conflict with at least the well-being and consistency of the environment.

Introduction and reintroduction requires the movement of different groups of animals over considerable distances. In this case, there is a risk of the spread of infectious and parasitic diseases. The current veterinary rules and requirements contain instructions on measures for the import (movement) of zoo and circus animals, but there are no instructions on animals in protected areas. This paper proposes options for disinfection and disinfestation of various objects at the points of introduction and reintroduction of animals, based on the instructions approved by the Department of Veterinary Medicine of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. The work was carried out in connection with the need to develop recommendations to prevent the spread of infectious and invasive animal diseases, including anthropozoonoses, on the territory of the steppe scientific station of the Steppe Institute of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences «Orenburg Tarpania».

Th e article describes the construction of a generalized assessment of the incidence of COVID-19 in the regions of the Russian Federation. Th e mathematical model includes normalization of relative morbidity indicators, which allows comparing the incidence rate in diff erent regions and the degree of change in morbidity. Based on the developed scale of epidemiological safety and the risk of disease spread, the assessment of the level of disease and the spread of COVID-19 in the subjects of the Volga Federal District is carried out.The relevance of the study is due to the fact that a comparative analysis of the incidence of COVID-19 by region is currently one of the main conditions for identifying factors in the spread/localization of the disease, assessing the eff ectiveness of eff orts and developing a system of measures to counter the spread of the disease.

Animal World

The Russian Federation is inhabited by about 150 thousand species of animals and this figure accounts for 9% of the world’s fauna. Guided by the logic of the utilitarian economic and legal approach called rational use of natural resources, this number includes a set of living organisms of all types of wild animals that permanently or temporarily inhabit the territory of the Russian Federation and are in a state of natural freedom, as well as related to the natural resources of the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone of Russia, which are only part of the subject of the emerging complex branch of faunal law, together with wild animals in captivity, service animals, domestic animals, agricultural animals, and living organisms obtained as a result of the use of genetic engineering technologies. Higher mammals are sentient beings, that is, they are capable of experiencing suffering, pain, emotions, and the development of intelligence is confirmed by solving the most complex natural problems and puzzles, which allows us to consider them as individuals of non-human nature and non-human origin, and therefore it is incorrect to associate some of the objects of the animal world belonging to higher mammals with objects of property rights, that is, things. Commercial, amateur and sports hunting are types of hunting in Russia, carried out by trapping or shooting, expressed in the killing of hunting resources, that is, objects of the animal world that can be used for hunting. Hunting in the domestic legislation is a form of leisure, recreation and economic activity that ignores the natural rights of higher animals, including the right to life. A characteristic feature of the Law "On Responsible Treatment of Animals" is that its norms and principles for the treatment of animals do not apply to objects of the animal world, marine and aquatic mammals, animals classified as hunting resources, agricultural animals, living organisms created as a result of genetic engineering activities, which significantly reduces its humanistic significance.

Now hunting for wild animals and birds is widespread in the Russian Federation. However, the veterinary and sanitary examination was not fully elaborated for a number of parasitic diseases, in particular for sarcocystosis of ducks. It is one of the most widespread avian diseases and it is increasingly being encountered by biologists, hunters and veterinarians. The article presents parameters for evaluating the meat of clinically healthy ducks and those infected with sarcocysts. The results obtained allow us to conclude about the prevalence and the need to improve the veterinary and sanitary assessment of meat and the system of preventive measures for sarcocystic invasion. Key words: sarcocystosis, hunting, ducks.
