Evaluation of the diagnostic sensitivity (DSe) and specificity (DSp) of tests for infectious diseases in wild animals is challenging, and some of the limitations may affect compliance with the OIE-recommended test validation pathway. We conducted a methodologic review of test validation studies for OIE-listed diseases in wild mammals published between 2008 and 2017 and focused on study design, statistical analysis, and reporting of results. Most published papers addressed Mycobacterium bovis infection in one or more wildlife species. Our review revealed limitations or missing information about sampled animals, identification criteria for positive and negative samples (case definition), representativeness of source and target populations, and species in the study, as well as information identifying animals sampled for calculations of DSe and DSp as naturally infected captive, free-ranging, or experimentally challenged animals. The deficiencies may have reflected omissions in reporting rather than design flaws, although lack of random sampling might have induced bias in estimates of DSe and DSp. We used case studies of validation of tests for hemorrhagic diseases in deer and white-nose syndrome in hibernating bats to demonstrate approaches for validation when new pathogen serotypes or genotypes are detected and diagnostic algorithms are changed, and how purposes of tests evolve together with the evolution of the pathogen after identification. We describe potential benefits of experimental challenge studies for obtaining DSe and DSp estimates, methods to maintain sample integrity, and Bayesian latent class models for statistical analysis. We make recommendations for improvements in future studies of detection test accuracy in wild mammals.

It is known that wild animals and birds can be reservoirs and carriers of many infectious diseases of animals and humans. A cadastre of disadvantaged anthrax settlements was developed based on the study of epizootology, which will help optimize epizootological and epidemiological measures for the prevention of anthrax in animals (wild and domestic) and the population. We first identified yersinia (Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis) from the material for shooting moose and roe deer living in the Central zone of Yakutia. Antibodies to the serogroups Leptospira Pomona, Grippotyphosa, and Icterohaemorrhagiae serogroups were detected in forest bisons exported from Canada to Yakutia for acclimatization. We developed a method for sampling frozen urine with snow at low temperatures (minus 10-50 ?С) to diagnose leptospirosis of wild animals and dogs, in places of natural habitat of wild mammals (without seizure and capture). The bactericidal effect of the probiotic strains of bacteria Bacillus subtilis TNP-3 and TNP-5 on the causative agent of leptospirosis of various serological groups has been established. The methods are protected by the Russian Federation patents for the invention. There was marked disease and mortality of roe deer from salmonellosis caused by Sal. abortus equi. There has been established the circulation of viruses of infectious rhinotracheitis, diarrhea in the deer population of the Arctic regions, the causative agents of which may be migratory birds and animals of the disadvantaged settlements. In the period of intensive exploration of Actica, climate warming and changes in the fauna, the migration routes of wild animals and birds, growing threat of zoonoses it is necessary to conduct large-scale monitoring of infections, especially viral diseases.
