COORDINATION OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL PROGRAMS IN VETERINARY PARASITOLOGY (COORDINATING COUNCIL OF ALL-RUSSIAN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF FUNDAMENTAL AND APPLIED PARASITOLOGY OF ANIMALS AND PLANTS NAMED AFTER K.I. SKRYABIN, MOSCOW, RUSSIA)

Abstract

The epizootological pattern for intensive technologies of livestock management and natural ecosystems were determined. The epizootic situation on parasitic zoonoses in Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Tadzhikistan, and Kyrgyzstan was studied. The technology of veterinary and sanitary expertise of meat products of animals’ slaughtering was improved. The antiparasitic drugs discovery was conducted; their efficacy against ecto and endoparasites evaluated, a pharmacological and toxicological assessment submitted, a drug administration schedule developed. The influence of infections and preventive measures on the host immune response has been determined, and the drugs having immunocorrection properties are proposed. 41 scientific institutions were involved in the implementation of Interdepartmental and Interstate Science programs. 294 research associates were participants in these programs.
