Abstract
Objective of the study is to characterize the mountain plague foci in Tien Shan and Pamir-Alai, to assess the results of the performed field disinsection activities, to describe the current epizootic condition of natural foci in Kyrgyz Republic and measures aimed at provision of epidemiological welfare as regards plague. Materials and methods. Archival epizootic and epidemiological data from the Republican Center of Quarantine and Particularly Dangerous Infections, Ministry of Health of Kyrgyz Republic, as well as copyright author’s materials were used for the analysis. Results and Conclusions. It is noted that following sanitation activities in 1971–1989, using deep disinsection of marmot burrows, epizootic activity of Tien Shan and Alai natural foci significantly decreased, up to long inter-epizootic periods. In the light of revitalization of high-mountain plague foci in Kyrgyz Republic, epizootiological monitoring of enzootic territories has been considerably strengthened, control over the state of populations of main agent carriers and vectors has been improved. In order to lower the risk of infection, 1750 km2 of the focal territories were treated twice, using deep disinsection of marmot burrows applying ecologically safe insecticides, in particular “Absolute-dust”.
