Khazar University Life Sciences Department and the Azerbaijan Veterinary Scientific Research Institute (AVSRI) have launched joint research projects. First, the cooperation started from the study of “Nodular dermatitis virus of cattle in the southern region of Azerbaijan”. The main purpose of the study is to monitor specific antibodies to the nodular dermatitis virus in the blood of cattle, to study the immune tension amongst animals before and after vaccination, as well as to identify the causative agent of arthropods (ticks and mosquitoes) by molecular biological methods. In addition to studying the causative agents of the disease in mosquitoes and ticks caught within the project, these arthropods will be morphometrically identified by their type and sex. It is worth reminding that nodular dermatitis is a viral disease in cattle. It is seasonal and mainly has an effect in spring and summer, during reproductive activity. The main sources of the disease are sick animals and arthropods. In the early stages of the disease, 5-50% of the livestock, and in some cases 75-100%, can be infected.
