Abstract
Recently, geographic information systems (GIS) have reached a high level of commercialization, wide distribution around the world and are being introduced into various fields of science, including medicine and veterinary medicine in order to visualize geospatial information to improve the quality of epizootological and epidemiological monitoring. A geographic information system is a system that provides the collection, storage, processing, access, display and distribution of spatial data. Us from March 2020 to January 2023 work was carried out to study the frequency of occurrence of toxocariasis in dogs and cats in the city of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region. Based on the results of the study of the helminth fauna of carnivores, as well as veterinary reporting data provided by the City Veterinary Department using the Quantum GIS (QGIS) program, data on the distribution of zoonotic invasion of carnivores were visualized and it was found that toxocariasis in dogs is more often recorded in Moscow (14.3 %), Frunzensky (10.2%), Nevsky (13.05%) Krasnoselsky (6.7%) districts of St. Petersburg and Vsevolozhsky (12.05%) district of the Leningrad region, and in cats - in the Kalininsky district (15 %), Nevsky (12.5%), Moskovsky (8.33%), Krasnoselsky (7.32%) and Admiralteysky (7.03%) districts of St. Petersburg. Thus, with the help of GIS, it is possible not only to systematize the spatial data obtained during research, which simplifies management and work with them, but also to visualize the data obtained in the form of digital maps, which in turn makes it possible to quickly and clearly assess the epizootic situation for a particular disease and as a consequence, improve measures of control and (or) prevention of invasion.
