title: [Laboratory tests in the diagnosis of feral herd infections].
abstract: Immunological laboratory tests play an important role in establishing the depth of extent of this or that infectious disease. Scheduled immunological monitoring (serological screening) is made to find out whether there are antibodies (Abs) against the causative agents of individual feral herd infections. The immunological examination is aimed at detecting Abs against the pathogens of infectious diseases of bacterial (Ixodes tick-borne borrelioses, tularemia, leptospiroses, human granulocytic anaplasmosis), viral (hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, tick-borne viral encephalitis, West Nile fever), and rickettsial (Q-fever) etiologies. The performed serological screening could yield data on the practically widespread of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in the Ulyanovsk Region and show high rates of Abs to Ixodes tick-borne borrelioses (5.75), coxiellosis (3.7%), and human granulocytic anaplasmosis (4.3%).
