Application of Geoinformation Technologies for Assessment of the Epizootiological and Epidemiological Situation on Anthrax in the Volgograd Region

Objective of the study was to assess epizootiological and epidemiological situation on anthrax in Volgograd Region period 1920–2019, zone territory according degree disadvantage as regards using geographic information technologies. Materials methods. The reporting data Rospotrebnadzor Administration, Veterinary Committee Region, literature sources were studied. ESRI-ArcGIS 10 software used a GIS-platform. Epizootic index applied zoning regarding territories region. Results discussion. Currently, 529 stationary potentially hazardous areas have been registered 33 districts 53 burial sites are accounted for 20 districts. During 1970–2019, 226 cases infection farm animals 37 among humans detected. Most (347 sites, 66 %) formed 1930–1949. Maximum activity observed 1930–1959. carried out software, result which municipal divided into four groups anthrax. potential different soil landscape zones persistence microbe It has found that chernozem, chestnut, dark-chestnut types, occupying more than 50 % total region area predominate moderately arid dry steppes, alongside alluvial meadow soils river valleys, floodplains rivers very favorable pathogen. is endemic this well-being largely depends completeness timelines preventive measures. use technologies provides comprehensive analysis manifestations with reliable improvement anti-anthrax surveillance system control making differentiated managerial decisions.
