A retrospective analysis of the epizootic situation of foot-and-mouth disease in depth over 60 years in the studied region demonstrates the registration of FMD activity of various intensities, while reaching up to 80 disadvantaged localities per year. The activities, aimed at antiepizootic measures carried out in 2012-2013, including mass vaccination for the purpose of rapid containment of FMD had failed, due to the low immune activity for A, Asia-1 types and spread of a new exotic for the region subtypes of FMD. Consequently, infection was recorded among vaccinated animals. After epizootological analysis was carried out, including laboratory tests to identify the FMDV genetic identity contained in pathological material and the quality of vaccine used, the FMD control strategy was revised, thus providing safety and welfare in the East Kazakhstan region from 2014 to date.
