Monitoring features of asymptomatic infections of companion animals in metropolis

Monitoring of hidden infections of companion animals in a metropolis, using traditional descriptive methods does not allow to form an idea of the real epizootic situation. The fragmentation of primary data received from animal disease cases at public and private clinics, the variety of laboratory diagnostic methods used, the omission of the overwhelming number of subclinical cases in the course of general medical practice- all these lead to heteroskedasticity of observations and formation of the false conclusions about the epizootic situation and understanding of existing problems. In the context of megapolices and urban agglomerations, the effectiveness of monitoring and analysis of the epizootic situation is significantly increased when researches are planned and are conducted using probabilistic methods. The formation of representative sample sets based on number and method of selection of animals, sampling as "clusters" in different parts of the city, systematic principle of research and simultaneous standardization of laboratory diagnostics, all these allow us to access the epizootic situation in different territorial areas and to trace the dynamics of the epizootic process. In the absence of targeted veterinary measures, hidden infections can become widespread in the metropolis, which is a natural phenomenon, due to the overall large number and high density of populations of pet animals. For Moscow region the greatest danger are the canine brucellosis, caused by Brucellacanis, feline leukemia (FeLV) and immunodeficiency (FIV), that often occur with long period of inapparent disease. At that time the animal may be a further distributor of infection. The absence of cases of brucellosis of dogs and retroviral infections of cats in the official veterinary statistics shows the urgent need for the transition to new methods of epizootological monitoring.
