Brief description, advantages, further prospects for application.

The introduction of a scientifically based system of molecular epidemiological monitoring of tularemia in Ukraine will provide a more effective and timely response to a possible biothreat, determine the degree of activation of natural foci, predict possible epidemiological complications.

The use of ecological-epidemiological and molecular genetic monitoring will contribute to the creation of a scientifically based system of certification of specific territories and optimization of the tularemia prevention system in Ukraine.

The implementation of a rational system for the prevention of tularemia, which consists in preventing the occurrence of epizootic and epidemic complications, in the dynamic study of registered and potential endemic territories with the determination of their epidemiological potential, will help improve the public health of the population of Ukraine and ensure its sanitary and epidemiological.
