THE REVIEW OF THE CASES OF AVIAN INFLUENZA IN UKRAINE IN 2016-2017

Introduction. Avian influenza (Grippus influenza avium) is a highly contagious viral disease of agricultural, synanthropic and wildlife, characterized by inhibition, septicemia, damage to the digestive and respiratory systems, nervous phenomena and high mortality of poultry. The disease is caused by low-pathogenic and highly pathogenic types of the virus. The circulation of subtypes H5N6 and H5N8 was detected in Ukraine in 2016. Outbreaks of H5N1, H5N2, H5N5, H5N6, H5N8, H7N3, H7N7, H5N9, H7N1, H7N8, H7N9, H5, H7 have been reported in the world by the beginning of 2017. The low pathogenic avian influenza has been diagnosed in 10 countries, highly pathogenic in 61 countries by the end of 2017.

The goal of the work. To study the epizootic situation of avian influenza in Ukraine for 2016–2017 gg.

Materials and methods of research. Information messages of MEB, epizootic examinations, laboratory reports of the results were used for studying.

Results and discussion. Highly pathogenic avian influenza was not registered in Ukraine during from 2008 to the end of 2016. The disease of avian influenza is predominantly reported among wild birds in Ukraine in 2016–2017. It was a result of non-compliance with the rules of biosafety, and it led to the emergence of the disease in 9 points of Kherson, Chernivtsi, Odessa, Ternopil and Mykolaiv regions. Special attention is paid to the case of an outbreak of avian influence in the zoo of Mykolaiv. The quarantine has been imposed on the "Mikolaiv Zoo" and approved by the "Plan of Measures for the Elimination of Avian Influenza in the Zoo".

Conclusions and prospects for further research: Avian influenza outbreaks are registered in 5 regions of Ukraine in 2016 – 2017. The disease was most commonly detected mainly in birds of wild fauna.. The spread of the disease was due to neglect of the rules of biosafety.. The veterinary and sanitary measures contributed to stopping the spread of the infection. The next stage of our work will be further analysis of the epizootic situation of avian influenza and ways of its dissemination.

Keywords: avian influenza, epizootic situation, subtype, pathological material, laboratory research.
