Project ManagerSansyzbay Abylay Doctor of Sciences, Professor Scopus Author ID: 55906967900 ORCID: 0000-0001-8154-4672 Relevance The development of a methodology for controlling tick-borne diseases is being developed in Kazakhstan for the first time. Application of this methodological recommendation will allow to identify rare and frequent ticks on the territory of Kazakhstan and to carry out control measures against them. Therefore, the developed methodological proposal does not question the planning and production of measures to detect and control bacterial, viral and protozoal diseases carried by ticks Project objective Study of tick species distribution and molecular identification of important new tick-borne pathogens in the regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan Expected and achieved results 1) at least two (2) articles and/or reviews will be published in scientific journals of Web of Science and/or Scopus; 2) at least two (2) articles will be published in a peer-reviewed domestic publication recommended by the “Science and Higher Education Quality Assurance Committee” of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan» ; 3) It is planned to publish 1 (one) recommendation. 4) one (1) patent will be received. 5) new tick species for the region of Kazakhstan are planned to be registered in the GenBank webpage. 6) A large-scale molecular identification of tick pathogens (viral + protozoal + bacterial), which are mainly and uniquely important for the region, will be carried out. 7) Maps of the distribution of tick species by regions of Kazakhstan will be compiled. 8) New and dangerous pathogens of tick-borne infections will be identified. 9) As a result of research work, information data on morphological and nucleotide types of ticks in the eastern and southern regions of Kazakhstan will be collected, regional dominant and unique types of ticks will be identified. 10) In the International Classification of Pathogens, an analysis of the genetic evolutionary structure based on international reference sequences will be carried out to identify the most important tick pathogens in the Eastern and Southern regions of Kazakhstan. Information for potential users This project is important for public health in Kazakhstan and will allow the development of effective strategies to prevent the spread of tick-borne infections.
