Helminthozoonosis pose particular danger to people, and cause economic and environmental damage. The purpose of the work was to identify the current epizootic situation of helminthozoonosis of game animals in the Central Region of Russia. The material for the study was helminthological collections from game animals. Studies were carried out throughout 2019-2021. Killed animals were brought from hunting farms in the Central Region of Russia. Animal carcasses or their fragments were subjected to complete or partial helminthological examination. The found helminths were differentiated according to conventional determinants. A total of 182 carcasses of animals and birds were studied. 108 animals of 13 species belonging to Carnivora were studied by helminthological methods. One species of the Omnivorae was studied: the wild boar. Among ruminants (Ruminantia), 35 artiodactyls were studied. Helminth fauna of rodents (Rodentia) was studied in 33 animals of 5 species. Two species of birds (Aves) were studied. We identified about 14 types of helminthozoonosis, of which pathogens of trichinellosis, dirofilariasis, toxocariasis and alveococcosis are particularly dangerous. The main hosts and reservoirs of zoonosis are carnivores.

The purpose of the work was to clarify the modern epizootic situation on helminthozoonoses of game animals in the Central region of Russia. The material for the study was helminthological collections during 2018–2020 from game animals. Animal carcasses were brought from the territories of the hunting farms of the Vladimir, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and Ryazan regions. A total of 218 animal and bird carcasses were studied. 105 heads of 11 species of carnivores (Carnivore) was studied by helminthological methods. One species was studied from the omnivorous animals (Оmnivorae) – boar. Among ruminants (Ruminantia), 54 heads were examined. Helminth fauna of rodents (Rodentia) was studied in 44 heads of 5 species. Three species of birds (Aves) was studied. About 12 species of helminthozoonosis were identified, of which trichinellosis, dirophilariosis, toxocarosis and alveococcosis are particularly hazardous. The main hosts of zoonoses are 7 species of predators. The red fox and some weasels play a leading role in the spread of helminthosis common to humans and animals.

The objective of this study was to examine iodine and selenium contents in skeletal muscles of selected species of game animals living in regions with low iodine and selenium contents in the soil and water. Iodine content was determined in 66 samples of skeletal muscles of red deer cut out of the musculus gracilis, 32 samples and 27 samples from the same muscle of roe deer and wild boar, respectively. The shot game animals came from hunting grounds in western and southern regions of the Czech Republic and in Protected Landscape Area Šumava. In red deer muscles the average iodine content was 44.9 ± 15.2 μg I·kg-1 wet weight with the range of 6.9 to 82.0 μg I·kg-1. The lower concentration in roe deer meat with the average 39.3 ± 14.1 μg I·kg-1 and the range from 18.3 to 84.4 μg I·kg-1 may be due to differences between biotopes and food. The average iodine concentration in the musculus gracilis of wild boars was 55.9± 27.0 μg·kg-1 wet weight. Selenium content was determined in 22 samples of red deer, 51 samples of roe deer and 27 samples of wild boar skeletal muscles. The average values of selenium content in the meat of red deer, roe deer and wild boars were 16.2 ± 8.4, 36.9 ± 16.6 and 27.6 ± 19.8 μg Se·kg-1 wet weight, respectively. All three species of game animals are characterised by low content and high variability of selenium concentration in meat with the minimum value 3.9 µg and maximum value 83.3 μg·kg-1 wet weight. The study brings new data on iodine and selenium content in the muscle of game animals in the Czech Republic.

Abstract The occurrence and concentrations of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were determined in 141 adipose tissue samples of wild boars, roe deer, and red deer from different regions of the country, collected in 2010/2011. The determinations of HCH isomers (α-, β-, and γ-HCH), HCB, DDTs (p,p’-DDT, o,p’-DDT, p,p’-DDE, and p,p’-DDD), and PCBs (six indicator PCB congeners 28, 52, 101, 138, 153, and 180) were carried out using the capillary gas chromatography. The mean concentrations of DDTs expressed on the fat basis ranged from 0.241 mg/kg (wild boar) to 0.032 mg/kg (red deer), and for PCBs from 0.015 mg/kg (wild boar) to 0.010 mg/kg (roe deer). The mean contribution of p,p’-DDE to DDTs and PCB 153, PCB 138, and PCB 180 to PCBs exceeded 80% and 90% respectively, in all game animal samples studied. Higher contents of chlorinated hydrocarbons were detected in game animals originating from industrial regions.

Resumo A espécie Sus scrofa (javali) foi introduzida no Brasil, nos anos de 1904 e 1906, tornando-se uma ameaça à biodiversidade, à economia do setor agrícola e à sociedade. Neste trabalho, foi proposto identificar os impactos ambientais causados na região de Bagé, as ocorrências e danos na agricultura local, assim como o que vem sendo feito para o efetivo controle da espécie. Para obtenção dos resultados, foi realizado um levantamento de dados através de artigos, documentos on-line e instituições locais. Verificou-se que esta situação é originária do manejo realizado no passado, que ocasionou no aumento da população de javalis gerando este desequilíbrio. A proliferação desta espécie tem causado danos ambientais e danos econômicos ao ecossistema local e aos produtores. Nas lavouras de soja, milho, trigo e arroz já se estimaram prejuízos de diferentes montas, chegando a registrar perdas totais em pequenos cultivos. Com estes impactos crescentes, foram necessárias medidas ambientalmente seguras para reorganizar este ecossistema, pois com a ausência de predadores naturais, esta população tende a crescer, sendo necessária a implantação de uma política de controle. Como método de controle populacional, foi identificada a liberação da caça do javali a partir de um Cadastro Técnico Federal e certificação. Palavras-chave: Manejo; crescimento; javali; biodiversidade.   Abstract An analysis of the environmental impacts of exotic species in the Pampa Biome: from proliferation to the necessary control of Sus scrofa populations The species Sus scrofa (wild boar) was introduced in Brazil, during 1904 and 1906, becoming a threat to biodiversity, to agricultural sector economy and to society. In this research, it was proposed to identify environmental impacts caused in the Bagé region, occurrences and damages in local agriculture, as well as what has been done for the species effective control. In order to obtain the results, a data survey was carried out through articles, online documents and local institutions. It was found that this situation originates from management carried out in the past, which caused an increase in the wild boar population, generating this imbalance. The proliferation of this species has caused environmental damage and economic damage to local ecosystem and to producers. In soybean, corn, wheat and rice crops, losses of different amounts have already been estimated, reaching total losses in small crops. With these growing impacts, environmentally safe measures were necessary to reorganize this ecosystem, as with the absence of natural predators this population tends to grow, requiring the implementation of a control policy. As a method of population control, the release of wild boar hunting from a Federal Technical Register and certification was identified. Keywords: Management; growth; boar; biodiversity.   Resumen Un análisis sobre los impactos ambientales de las especies exóticas en el Bioma Pampa: de la proliferación al control necesario de las poblaciones de Sus scrofa La especie Sus scrofa (jabalí) fue introducida en Brasil en los años de 1904 y 1906, convirtiéndose en una amenaza para la biodiversidad, a la economía del sector agrícola y de la sociedad.

This review discusses the consequences of the food chain contamination with radionuclides, especially focusing on the radiocaesium impact after the Chernobyl nuclear accident. In particular, the137Cs isotope still represents a risk. Until present it is still detectable in the meat of game animals, especially in wild boar, but also in elk and reindeer. Although the occurrence of highly contaminated foods in most of Europe is currently limited, along the German-Czech border (the Šumava Region) the activity concentration of the137Cs isotope in the meat of wild boar exceeds the acceptable limit several times. Additionally, the article describes simple processing technologies (cooking, pickling etc.) that lead to reduction of radionuclides in contaminated food.

Anaplasma phagocytophilumis a tick-borne rickettsial pathogen responsible for granulocytic anaplasmosis in mammalian hosts including humans. Wild animals may play an important role in the epidemiology of this disease. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of infection withA. phagocytophilumamong wildlife in Slovenia. Serum samples (n = 376) from the most important game species [red deer (Cervus elaphus), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), wild boar (Sus scrofa), chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) and brown bear (Ursus arctos)] were examined byA. phagocytophilum-specific indirect fluorescent-antibody assay (IFA) and wild boar spleen samples (n = 160) were tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).A. phagocytophilum-specific antibodies were found in 72% of sera andA. phagocytophilumDNA was present in 6.2% of spleens. The data indicate thatA. phagocytophilumis present and widespread in Slovenian game animals and that game species are involved in the natural life cycle ofA. phagocytophilum.

A review is given of information on the galactic-centre region obtained from recent observations of the 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen, the 18-cm group of OH lines, a hydrogen recombination line at 6 cm wavelength, and the continuum emission from ionized hydrogen.Both inward and outward motions are important in this region, in addition to rotation. Several types of observation indicate the presence of material in features inclined to the galactic plane. The relationship between the H and OH concentrations is not yet clear, but a rough picture of the central region can be proposed.
