The paper presents brief history, general characteristics, parasitic system, and epidemic process of Ebola virus disease.

Results of participation of the FGBI «ARRI АН» Reference Laboratory for Highly Dangerous Diseases in the XI International Proficiency Testing on African Swine Fever Diagnostics arranged by the European Union Reference Laboratory for ASF (URL-CISA-INIA, Madrid, Spain) are described in the paper. As part of the testing the infectious status of all coded samples was correctly determined. Testing results show that used in the Laboratory test-systems on the basis of ELISA and PCR have high sensitivity and specificity and provide highly reliable results during African swine fever diagnostic procedure.

Associated with isolation of vaccine-like attenuated bluetongue virus cases of 14 serotype bluetongue virus detection in European countries and the RF in 2011 -2012 are analysed in the paper.

«Delayed wattle reaction» assay was applied in chicken vaccinated against fowl pox. Pattern of correlation between inflammation relative coefficient and inoculation dose of attenuated strain «KEM-7» of fowl pox virus was determined and results of «delayed wattle reaction» assay were compared with the level of immunity.

The capability to monitor quality of ready-to-use pharmaceuticals using capillary electrophoresis methods is evaluated in the paper. Optimal conditions for separation and determination of different classes of such antibacterial agents as penicillins, fluoroquinolones, nitrofurans, sulfanilamides, metronidazole and chloramphenicol are chosen. The range of content of active constituents is 1-2500 mg/g for solid samples and 0,001-0,50% for liquid preparations.

The article demonstrates possibility of using highly productive pyrophosphate sequencing, also known as 454 Life Sciences technology for investigation of highly variable and understudied infectious viral agents. Genome-wide nucleotide sequences of infectious bronchitis virus, infectious laryngotracheitis virus, fowl adenovirus C, and avian adenoassociated virus were determined. Recombinations in infectious bronchitis genome were identified, structural and point mutations in fowl adenovirus genome were detect

He article demonstrates possibility of using highly productive pyrophosphate sequencing, also known as 454 Life Sciences technology for investigation of highly variable and understudied infectious viral agents. Genome-wide nucleotide sequences of infectious bronchitis virus, infectious laryngotracheitis virus, fowl adenovirus C, and avian adenoassociated virus were determined. Recombinations in infectious bronchitis genome were identified, structural and point mutations in fowl adenovirus genome were detect ed. Infectious laryngotracheitis virus and avian adeno-associated virus genome structure was characterized.

A PCR and electrophoresis based tool was developed for Eperythrozoon suis detection. During 2004-2013, tests for Eperythrozoon suis detection were performed using the developed tool. The agent was detected in whole blood samples collected from replacement gilts and sows.

The paper presents data on laboratory tests for infectious laryngotracheitis virus detection in peacock biomaterial and its identification. High level of similarity with vaccine strains «0» (FGBI «ARRIAH» and Serva (Nobilis ILT) used in poultry production in Vladimir oblast in analyzed genome section (99,5%) was demonstrated.

It was shown that different serological variants of Pasteurella multocida bacteria accomplish a function of an etiological factor of pasteurellosis and haemorrhagic septicemia. They are characterized by different reservoirs and sources, routes and mechanisms of infectious agent transmission and it gives rise to epidemic processes of different ecological categories. Correspondingly, the control over pasteurellosis epidemic process is realized by satisfaction of animal needs by environmental conditions (dry bedding, satisfactory air exchange, time in the open air, etc.) and the control over haemorrhagic cepticemia epidemic process is realized by vaccination of production animals according to epizooto-logical showings and use of repellents and insecticides.
