https://doi.org/10.33092/0025-8326mp2026.1.49-57
Abstract
The article provides a general overview of viral diseases of farm animals transmitted through blood-sucking arthropods. The causative agents of diseases such as nodular dermatitis, bluetongue, equine infectious anemia, West Nile fever, and tick-borne encephalitis are considered. The epizootic situation for each pathogen, methods of modern diagnosis and prevention of these diseases are briefly considered.
