Climate and weather of Kyrgyzstan
The climate of Kyrgyzstan is continental, because Kyrgyzstan is located far from the oceans.
Issyk-Kul is a pearl of Kyrgyzstan

Livestock industry in Kyrgyzstan
Population more 6 million
Main table meats
Lamb & mutton
Chicken
Beef
Horse meat
Main livestock products
Dairy
Wool and fur
Fats and oil
Honey

Brucellosis (cattle)
Anthrax (cattle)
Foot and mouth disease (cattle)
Smallpox (small ruminants)
Rabies mainly in dogs
Newcastle disease in poultry
Pasteurellosis
Leptospirosis
Salmonellosis
Chlamydia
Emphysematous carbuncle in cattle
Echinococcosis in dogs
In the Kyrgyz Republic there is only one Program for the Eradication for Echinococcosis.
Preliminary Report on the Inspection of Animal Production Enterprises
of the Kyrgyz Republic by Experts of the Eurasian Economic Union
2015.02.16.-2015.02. 27.
Important diseases
in livestocks

Problems in securing Animals Health
Laws and regulations
No regulation to stop movement of diseased animals
Finance
No compensation for farmers to slaughter diseased animals
No enough funding for diagnostic services
Laboratory
Few certificated laboratories for diagnosis
Vets are not qualified for diagnostics skills

One of the oldest scientific centers for veterinary medicine
Research Laboratories on
Epidemic infectious diseases
(FMD, respiratory diseases in cattle etc.)
Brucellosis
Parasitology
Domestic animals
(canine parvovirus, canine distemper virus, feline panleukopenia etc.)
Virology (cattle, small ruminants, poultry)
Bees
Kyrgyz Scientific Research Institute
of Veterinary Medicine

Monitoring of infectious diseases
Development and improvement of the specific prevention and treatment of infectious diseases
Serological and molecular characterization of pathogens to design domestic vaccines and diagnostic products
My work in Kyrgyzstan

Practicing the basic policies and protocols for bio-safety and bio-security at NIAH
Learning basics of virology, immunology and molecular epidemiology
Acquiring virology skills
Acquiring molecular skills
Working on preparing scientific presentation and drafting scientific paper
My work in Tsukuba
“Diagnosis of viral diseases in livestock animals”

Learned basic techniques of virology
cell culture
virus propagation and titration
virus neutralization tests
Classical swine fever virus,
Foot and mouth disease virus in Kodaira
Pseudorabies virus
Bovine viral diarrhea virus in Tsukuba
Helped animal experiments using gnotobiotic piglets in NIAH
Acquiring new knowledge

Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease
highly infectious and often fatal disease of rabbits
caused by Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease virus
high morbidity and mortality (70-90 %)
Nervous and respiratory signs
Emergence of highly pathogenic strains since 2010 in Europe and Australia
Two new suspected cases in 2019 in Japan (no outbreak since 2002)
→ Need to characterize the virus to understand whether they are from the past domestic outbreaks in 2002 or introduction of emergent strains from other countries
I have collected data for a molecular epidemiological study
And searched literatures to draft scientific reports
Overcoming species barriers: an outbreak of Lagovirus europaeus GI.2/RHDV2 in an isolated population of mountain hares (Lepus timidus)
BMC Veterinary Research volume 14, Article number: 367 (2018)
Molecular characterization
of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease

Thank you Japan Veterinary Medical Association
