Materials and methods. The investigators used the materials of the Veterinary Service, the Directorate for the Astrakhan Region, the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being. GIS technologies were employed to create electronic databases and to analyze the territorial distribution of permanently unfavorable areas for anthrax and its burial sites. The epizootic index (EI) was calculated to assess the degree of ill-being due to infections in the areas.
Results. The endemicity of anthrax in the Astrakhan Region is due to its presence of 107 permanently unfavorable anthrax areas and 166 anthrax burial sites, of which 151 ones have not been identified, and poses a constant threat of infection among animals and humans. The creation of two geobases for 107 anthrax areas and 15 anthrax burial sites and visualization on electronic maps using GIS technologies could identify the features of their territorial placement. It was found that 68.6% of the permanently unfavorable anthrax areas were located within the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain that was characterized by rich soils and a mild climate.
Conclusion. Areas with a high risk for anthrax infection have been identified, which can assist the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being and the Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance in planning anti-anthrax measures in these areas.
