Veterinary research in the Far North is 115 years old

The presented work provides an overview of the activities of veterinary institutions and veterinary scientists in the study of epizootology, pathogenesis, etiology and biology of pathogen development and the development of measures to combat and prevent the most common and most dangerous infectious and invasive diseases of reindeer. The contribution of veterinary researchers and specialists in the development of veterinary infectology and parasitology in the Far North in ensuring the epizootic well-being of the northern regions is shown. The purpose of the presented article, first of all, is to show that despite the difficult climatic (extremely low temperatures) and organizational (pasture system of reindeer herding far from populated areas) difficulties, extremely necessary research was carried out to find means to combat infections and invasions in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.
