Abstract
The last outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the Republic of Kazakhstan was detected in the East Kazakhstan region in 2013. As part of the approved FMD control strategy, the country's territory is divided into 2 free FMD zones (with and without vaccination).
Specialists of the International Epizootic Bureau were invited to the republic, and the vaccines used were analyzed. And we must admit that this work has yielded certain results. Nine regions have been granted FMD-free status without vaccination. However, for the first time in many years, in January 2022, an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, a dangerous viral disease that can be transmitted to humans, was detected in the Karaganda region. Which crossed out almost all the work done on the way to well-being and zeroed out the chances for the development of export animal husbandry.
Foot–and-mouth disease is a cross-border disease, the source of which is domestic and wild ungulates. This disease is caused by a virus of the genus Aphthovirus of the Picornaviridae family, which affects artiodactyls, both wild and domestic. Transmission of FMD virus from sick animals to other susceptible animals can occur directly or indirectly. Treatment and control of foot-andmouth disease among livestock or animals can be carried out through isolation and quarantine of sick animals, vaccination programs, biosafety measures in animal husbandry, monitoring of livestock movement and surveillance.
