Abstract
Infectious anemia of horses (INAN, swamp fever) is transmitted by vector-borne blood-sucking insects. The disease is endemic in America, in some European countries, in the Middle and Far East, South Africa, and also in Russia. There is a high risk of infection entering our country from border disadvantaged countries.The pathogen belongs to the Retroviridae family, the Lentivirinae genus. Equine INAN virus is very variable in serological and genetic terms, which makes the development of a vaccine against the disease almost impossible these days. The purpose of the work is to carry out antiepizootic measures to prevent the spread and elimination of the epizootic focus of equine infectious anemia at the Enterprise in St. Petersburg. A horse and mare born in 2020 was imported into the territory of the Russian Federation without accompanying documents and an identification number from the Republic of Belarus. The Veterinary Service of St. Petersburg was not notified about the importation of an animal into the territory of an Enterprise with cadastral number 78:14:0751301:14 in the Moskovsky district of St. Petersburg for registration. Diagnosis for INAN horses was carried out by the serological method – diffuse precipitation reaction (RDP). As a result of the competent implementation of measures provided for by the "Veterinary Rules for the implementation of preventive, diagnostic, restrictive and other measures, the establishment and lifting of quarantine and other restrictions aimed at preventing the spread and elimination of foci of infectious anemia of horses (INAN)", approved by the The Ministry of Agriculture of Russia dated 08.26.2021 No. 593, no new foci of infection of horses have been identified in St. Petersburg since 08.17.2024 to the present.
