It was found that the main source of rabies in our time are the foxes, the share of which exceeds 50% of the diseased animals. Probability bitten animal diseases depends on the number of supported bites, their location, extent of tissue damage, and amount of virus virulence.It notes some cyclicality in the emergence of rabies outbreaks. Periods of relative attenuation of infection are replaced with new lifts every 3 – 4 years. It was found that durig the period from 2014 to 2016 it was registered 57 unfavorable items rabies animals in the Lviv region. Among them: the fox – 36; dogs – 11; cats – 9; ferrets – 1. In 2014 eight disadvantaged areas with rabies foxes has been recorded, in 2015 – 8, 2016 – six disadvantaged areas. By the number of animal deaths the first place belongs to the foxes, the second dog place on the third and fourth cat – ferret. The weak link in the system of measures to combat rabies infection is the lack of work on the elimination of stray animals (dogs and cats) and a decrease in the population of foxes, as well as the failure to implement fully the annual vaccination of dogs and lack of oral immunization of wildlife species. Today a vaccine based on a recombinant strain «V–RG» for the oral immunization of wild carnivores registered in Ukraine, which is produced by LLC «Ukrvetprompostach», Brovary, Kiev region, Ukraine.

Autoimmune diseases occur when a sustained, specific, adaptive immune response is generated against self-components, and results in tissue damage or dysfunction. It is now clear that an autoimmune component is a feature of many human diseases. Indeed, there are some estimates that autoimmune diseases afflict more than 3% of Western populations, and imposes a significant personal and economic burden on individuals and nations. They probably affect more commonly women than men, and have peak incidence in the third to sixth decades. This chapter will illustrate many of the principles unifying various autoimmune states, and will present a conceptual framework within which to understand their aetiology, pathogenesis, and pathology. The rapid advances in knowledge being made in this group of disorders predict that disease mechanisms will soon be more clearly understood, and will greatly impact therapeutics.

Experiments were focused on the prevention of diarrhoea in weaned piglets by means of enterotoxigenic strains of Escherichia coli (ETEC) with colonizing factors K88 (F4). The process of immunization consisted of intramuscular administration of ETEC strain bacterin one day prior to weaning and oral administration of a live culture of non-pathogenic E. coli strain containing colonizing factors (O149:K88; STa–, LT–) in 3 hours after weaning. The shedding of the K88 positive E. coli strains was monitored for 3 weeks after weaning by the culture of rectal swabs. The efficacy of such immunization protocol was tested by challenge exposure to enterotoxigenic E. coli O149:K88, LT+ strain on the third or the tenth day after weaning. Following the oral administration of non-pathogenic E. coli strain containing colonizing factors K88 to piglets, the shedding of the administered strain continued for 9 days. No or very small protection against diarrhoea following the challenge exposure to enterotoxigenic E. coli was found in immunized piglets.

In the present study the effects of curcumin was studied against the toxic effects induced by 0.025 and 0.050 ml/ml of cyclophosphamide (CP) in the third instar larvae of transgenic <em>Drosophila melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ)Bg9</em> using hsp70 expression and dye exclusion test as a parameter. The exposure of the third instar larvae to 0.025ml/ml of CP along with 1, 5 and 10 mg/ml of curcumin results in the dose dependent significant decrease in the <em>hsp70</em> expression and tissue damage for 12, 24 and 48hr of duration. Similar results were obtained with the exposure of third instar larvae to 0.050 ml/ml of CP along with 1, 5 and 10 mg/ml of curcumin. The selected doses of curcumin i.e. 1, 5 and 10 mg/ml were not toxic but reduced significantly the expression of <em>hsp70</em> and tissue damage induced by CP. The results of the present study suggest that the curcumin has a protective role against the toxic effects of CP in the third instar larvae of transgenic <em>Drosophila melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ)Bg9</em>.

AbstrakAsfiksia adalah keadaan di mana tubuh atau bagian tubuh kekurangan oksigen. Jika kondisi ini terjadi pada bayi baru lahir disebut dengan asfiksia perinatal, yang dapat menimbulkan kerusakan jaringan secara permanen maupun bersifat sementara, salah satunya adalah gangguan pendengaran sensorineural.Makalah ini akan membahas tentang mekanisme gangguan pendengaran akibat asfiksia, deteksi dini gangguan pendengaran dengan pemeriksaan Brain Evoked Response Auditory (BERA) dan Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE).Gangguan pendengaran akibat asfiksia dapat terjadi akibat beberapa mekanisme. Kelainan ini terlihat pada gambaran BERA dan OAE, dimana terjadinya peningkatan masalaten dan interval gelombang yang bersifat sementara atau menetap, serta ditemukan gangguan pada fungsi koklea bayi dengan asfiksia perinatal terutama pada frekuensi 1-5 kHz yang terdeteksi pada hari ke tiga sampai hari kelima kelahiran, dan terdapat perbaikan pada usia 1 bulan.Kata Kunci : Asfiksia perinatal, gangguan pendengaran, BERA, OAEAbstractAsphyxia is a condition in which the body or body part to lack of oxygen. If this condition occurs in newborns with perinatal asphyxia is also called, which can cause tissue damage is permanent or temporary. One of that is a sensorineural hearing loss.This paper will discuss the mechanisms of hearing loss due to asphyxia, early detection of hearing loss with an examination Brain Auditory Evoked Response (BERA) and Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE).Hearing loss due to asphyxia can occur due to several mechanisms. These abnormalities are seen on the results of BERA and OAE, where an increase in latent period and the interval waves that are temporary or permanent, and found interference with the function of the cochlea infants with perinatal asphyxia, especially at frequency of 1-5 kHz were detected on the third day until the fifth day of birth, and there are improvements to the age of 1 month.Key word : Perinatal asphyxia, hearing loss, Brain Auditory Evoked Response, Otoacoustic Emissions

Rabies is a particularly dangerous deadly viral disease. The disease is transmitted through bites and saliva of domestic and wild carnivores. At risk is a person. On the territory of the Kirov region, the disease has been registered since 1991. The increase in the frequency of registering cases of rabies has been observed since 2013. The presence of foci in the neighboring regions of the Kirov region contributes to the unfavorable situation. For 2018, the Komi Republic and the Vologda Region are prosperous adjacent to the region. An increase in the number of cases of rabies was noted in the Republic of Tatarstan and the Nizhny Novgorod region. Most often rabies is recorded in wild animals (foxes, raccoon dogs), but cases of rabies in domestic (cats, dogs) and agricultural (cow, goat) animals are detected every year. For epizootic wellbeing, it is necessary to conduct routine vaccinations to ensure the protection of the person. The number of vaccinated domestic and farm animals increases annually. Compulsory vaccinations are cattle and small cattle, horses, pigs, dogs and cats. For wild animals, a vaccine for oral immunization of wild carnivorous animals against rabies is used, which is spread out three times a year. Before immunization, the number of wild carnivores is regulated to ensure their removal to 70. Key words: rabies, Kirov region, bite, dogs, foxes, raccoon dog, vaccination, natural focal disease.Бешенство, являясь особо опасным смертельным вирусным заболеванием, передается через укусы и слюну домашних и диких плотоядных животных. В группе риска находится человек. На территории РФ в 2018 году отмечено увеличение количества случаев бешенства в 1,24 раза по сравнению с 2017 годом. На территории Кировской области заболевание регистрируется с 1991 года. Увеличение частоты регистрации случаев бешенства наблюдается с 2013 года. В 2018 году произошло уменьшение числа зарегистрированных случаев в 4,33 и 4,47 раза по сравнению с 2017 и 2016 годами соответственно. В 2019 году в КО зарегистрированы бешенство у коровы, лисицы, собаки. Способствует стабильно неблагополучной ситуации наличие очагов в соседних с Кировской областью регионах и миграция диких животных. На 2018 год благополучными соседними с областью являются республика Коми и Вологодская область. Рост количества случаев бешенства отмечен в Республике Татарстан и Нижегородской области. Наиболее часто бешенство регистрируется у диких животных от 77 до 87 (лисы, енотовидные собаки), однако ежегодно выявляются случаи бешенства у домашних (кошки, собаки) и сельскохозяйственных (корова, коза) животных от 12 до 23. Для эпизоотического благополучия проводятся плановые вакцинации животных. В 2018 году в КО отмечено снижение количества провакцинированных домашних и сельскохозяйственных животных в 1,1 раза. Обязательной вакцинации подвергаются крупный и мелкий рогатый скот, лошади, свиньи, собаки и кошки. Для диких животных используется вакцина против бешенства для оральной иммунизации диких плотоядных животных, раскладываемая трижды в год. Перед иммунизацией проводится регулирование численности диких плотоядных с обеспечением их изъятия до 70. В период с 20122017 гг. в РФ из числа погибших от бешенства людей 70 не обращались за антирабической помощью, а 10 прервали антирабическое лечение. Последний официальный случай заболевания бешенством у человека в Кировской области был зарегистрирован в мае 1996 года.

Abstract We monitored the incidence of predation behavior in Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra) from urban ponds in southern Spain, following reports of the mustelids’ presence in various urban locations. In one of the case studies, 30 small common carp and 35 Koi fish were released in May 2017 and April 2018, respectively, into two different ponds. Otters extensively predated on these fish over a period of 75–80 days. Only two small carp (6.6%) survived in one of the ponds and 10 Koi fish (28.5%) in the other. The surviving Koi were relocated. We determined that fish survival functions and mortality rates between these two years were not significantly different. At the second urban location, otters extensively predated on Iberian frogs over a period of 5–6 days in May 2018, left the area, and repeated this pattern in May 2019. Finally, at the third urban location, otters consumed 20 goldfish in 16 days in August 2018. Our results indicate that available food resources in urban settings can become a viable option for certain bold individuals of wildlife species and that otters appear to explore urban habitats when it suits them. Appropriate management and damage control strategies are therefore needed to ensure the survival of this protected species in case food resources in the wild become limited and urban raids become habitual.
