This article describes the study of the parasitic fauna of the European bison in the national Park "Ugra", the Kaluga Region. In the Russian Federation, this species has an official status of endangered species, therefore it is listed in the Red Book. In the Kaluga Region, there are several areas where the bison lives; in this work, the study area was the Dzerzhinsky District. The aim of the study was to detect and differentiate helminths, and provide therapeutic and preventive recommendations. The experiments were carried out using methods of flotation and sequential washings. Six species were selected as study helminths from three main classes of parasites: 1 species of helminths Dicrocoelium lanceatum from the class of trematodes (Trematoda). This parasite is localized in the liver and gall bladder. Three species of tapeworms from the class of cestodes (Cestoda): Moniezia expansa, which affects the small intestine, Cysticercus taenuicollis (Taenia hydatigena) and Cysticercus bovis (Taeniarhynchus saginatus), which can affect the musculature of animals. Two species of the parasite from the class of nematodes (Nematoda): Oesophagostomum radiatum and Nematodirus helvetianus, which are mainly localized in the small intestine. The topic of helminth fauna of the bison requires further study, since these animals can be the main sources of invasion. They live in the same biotopes as other ruminants, therefore they can cause infection of cattle and small ruminants that are in nearby territories for grazing.

Ninety-eight wolves and 75 coyotes from the forested regions of Alberta were examined for helminths. Fourteen species (2 trematodes, 8 cestodes, and 4 nematodes) were recovered from wolves, with a mean of 2.6 and a maximum of 6 species per wolf; 18 species (3 trematodes, 8 cestodes, and 7 nematodes) were recovered from coyotes, with a mean of 2.0 and a maximum of 6 species per coyote. Helminths common in wolves were Taenia hydatigena (79% of the wolves infected), Echinococcus granulosus (72%), Taenia krabbei (52%), Toxascaris leonina (14%), and Taenia pisiformis (13%), Toxascaris leonina (52%), Alaria americana (33%), Taenia pisiformis (31%), Uncinaria stenocephala (16%), and Filaroides osleri (15%) were common in coyotes. Metorchis conjunctus, Taenia omissa, and T. taeniaeformis appear to be new records for wolves and M. conjunctus, Taenia twitchelli, Diphyllobothrium sp., and Capillaria aerophila appear to be new for coyotes.High indexes of similarity (and comparable indexes of diversity) suggest that the helminth faunas of wolves in various regions of North America are basically similar. This similarity is probably due to similar food habits of wolves from various regions.The helminth fauna of coyotes appears to vary extensively in diversity and in species between the regions studied. The fauna from the coyotes from the area around Lac la Biche, Alberta, differed markedly from that of the other samples, with a generally richer fauna of different species, more equitably distributed. The helminths, particularly the cestodes, from coyotes from Minnesota and from Banff National Park were as similar to those of wolves as they were to those of coyotes from other areas. These features may be due to the food habits of the host coyotes.

Relevance . The article provides an analysis of the infectious mor-bidity in the Russian Federation of humans, domestic animals and birds for 2016-2019. The aim of the study is to compare the epizootological and epidemiological situation and to establish a correlation between individual types of zoonoses, anthro-ponoses and zoonoses with anthroponoses. Materials and Methods . The study was carried out by processing statistical data obtained from open sources of Rosstat and the Federal State University of the Russian Academy of Sciences of the IAC of the Department of Veterinary Supervision of Vladimir. Collected data were processed using Excel and STATISTICA-10 programs. Results and Discussion . A sample of infectious diseases (IB) was formed, which, during the specified period, infected peo-ple, pets, incl. cattle and small ruminants, pigs, horses and poultry. The average per-centage of patients with a specific type of infectious diseases was calculated, taking into account the differentiation by zoonoses, anthroponoses and the average percent-age of sick animals for all identified types of IB, which made it possible to establish IB, which are most common in each of the groups, and in general in all animals and birds. The assessment of the distribution of information security in differentiated groups has been carried out, distribution graphs have been constructed and formulas have been established by which it is possible to predict the dynamics of their further development. The STATISTICA-10 software was used to calculate the correlation coefficients ( r ) between zoonoses (XX), anthroponoses (YY), as well as zoonoses and anthroponoses (XY). Conclusion . Stably significant positive correlations were determined for zoonoses and anthroponoses. The data obtained prove the existence of a close connection of a person with the environment and his responsibility for the health of animals and birds, in order to prevent the risk of infectious diseases.

Traditionally the Cushing’s disease (CD) is considered a rare disease. Since 2012 СD has the official status of an orphan disease in the Russian Federation. Now prevalence of this disease in the world are from 1,5 to 3,9 cases of CD on 1 million people of the population. The reason of CD is the adenoma of a hypophysis (сortiсotropinoma). The “gold” standard of therapeutic tactics of patients with CD is the transsphenoidal surgery. However in 20% of cases after the radical treatment  fail to achieve remission of pathological process. Now in an arsenal of the neuroendocrinologist we have various methods of  therapy, including various methods of drug therapy. The focus of  preparations are central type action:  analogs of a somatostatin. The representative of this group of preparations is Pasireotid who has proved the efficiency by results of the multicenter clinical trials. This review  focuses of the current   state of knowledge about methods of treatment of CD, about new therapeutic opportunities with application of analogs of a somatostatin.

In the article anti-corruption policy is considered in criminal law and in the preventive aspects. The definition of anti-corruption policy by legal means is given. It is shown that the most significant and effective tool in this direction (kind) of policy is the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. However, the preventive potential of criminal law is not enough. The law does not cover a lot of corruption manifestations, which are involved in the use of any official status, its authority and opportunities. Up to the present time criminal law is not given with the accordance of the Federal Law «On combating corruption» from 25.12..2008 №273-FZ (as amended on 22.12.2014). Criminal law measures applied to corrupt officials, have palliative nature: they are based on the concept of limited use of criminal law and mitigation of punishment. The author makes a reasonable conclusion that more effective implementation of anti-corruption policy requires the adoption of new criminal law which contains the Chapter on corruption crimes, sanctions of which must include imprisonment as punishment as well as confiscation of property or life deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or to be engaged in certain activities.

The purpose of the research is studying seasonal dynamics of gastrointestinal strongylatosis in bison in the Central Region of the Russian Federation.Materials and methods. The bison of different age and sex was studied in the Prioksko-Terrasny Nature Reserve, the Moscow Region. Fresh feces collected near feed troughs in enclosures in different seasons for three years were examined according to generally accepted methods. To analyze the infection rate of gastrointestinal strongylates in the European bison by months throughout the year, we took average monthly temperature and humidity values for 2018, 2019, and 2020 into account.Results and discussion. The maximum number of positive samples was diagnosed in the warm season of the year, namely, in summer and in the first months of autumn: August, September and October 2018 (79.3, 83.3 and 82.9%), August, October, November and December 2019 (73.7, 76.9, 77.1 and 77.8%), and June, July, August and October 2020 (85.6, 87.2, 88.0 and 86.3%). Ambient temperatures and precipitations affect significantly on the time of larvae development in the environment, which can be clearly seen in 2019.

The paper presents data on the assessment of the genetic diversity of five subpopulations of the European bison (Bison bonasus) in Belarus — from the National Park “Belovezhskaya Pushcha”, the National Park “Pripyatsky”, the Osipovichi district (Mogilev area), SEI “Berezinsky Biosphere Reserve” and the Grodno region. In general, the work includes 30 samples of muscle tissue from the collection of Gene bank of wild fauna in SSPA “SPC NAS of Belarus on Bioresources” (Minsk, Belarus). Microsatellites were used as markers to assess genetic diversity, structure, and search for signs of a sharp decline in the size of bison subpopulations in the past. A total of 11 microsatellite markers were used, recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations for cattle research. The analysis of B. bonasus subpopulation from the NP “Pripyatsky” showed signs of passing through the genetic bottleneck. All studied subpopulations are characterized by a similarly low genetic diversity level in all analyzed indicators (mean number of alleles, allelic diversity, observed and expected heterozygosity). The expected heterozygosity (He) for the three subpopulations from the NP “Belovezhskaya Pushcha”, the NP “Pripyatsky” and from the Osipovichi district ranged from 0.37 to 0.39. For the studied subpopulations, the values of the fixation index were negative. The assessment of the presence of genetic structuring between the subpopulations of bison from the NP “Belovezhskaya Pushcha”, the NP “Pripyatsky” and from the Osipovichi district based on the values of such indexes as Fst and DJost which showed no signs of genetic differentiation, which is also confirmed by principal coordinates analysis (PCoA). The European bison conservation in Belarus has required tremendous efforts in the past. So far, even though the impressively large population size reached in Belarus, B. bonasus status still should not be considered as stable, which is closely linked to aspects of its overall low genetic diversity. Our research confirmed the low genetic variability of Belarusian subpopulations. Therefore, the more extensive research concentrated on identifying genetic diversity is necessary to ensure the beneficial control of gene flow and register a potential correlation of unfavorable gene variants with possible inbreeding depression. These attempts are required to lay the groundwork for the management and protection of the European bison in Belarus.
