ass Die-Off of Saiga Antelopes, Kazakhstan, 2015

 

Abstract

 

In 2015, a mass die-off of ≈200,000 saiga antelopes in central Kazakhstan was caused by hemorrhagic septicemia attributable to the bacterium Pasteurella multocida serotype B. Previous analyses have indicated that environmental triggers associated with weather conditions, specifically air moisture and temperature in the region of the saiga antelope calving during the 10-day period running up to the event, were critical to the proliferation of latent bacteria and were comparable to conditions accompanying historically similar die-offs in the same areas. We investigated whether additional viral or bacterial pathogens could be detected in samples from affected animals using 3 different high-throughput sequencing approaches. We did not identify pathogens associated with commensal bacterial opportunisms in blood, kidney, or lung samples and thus concluded that P. multocida serotype B was the primary cause of the disease.

I am Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. It is my pleasure to join you in celebrating a strong relationship United States in Kazakhstan have built over the past 25 years. I thank President Nazarbayev and people of Kazakhstan for being outstanding host of EXPO 2017 and many other events in Astana this summer. I hope all of you take time to visit our USA pavilion. Kazakhstan has been an important leader in global energy economy. The developments of Tengiz and Kashagan oil field were historic for Kazakhstan and for the United States. They will remain key strategic elements in our relationship for decades to come. Kazakhstan has also been an important contributor to nuclear non-proliferation. President Nazarbayev set strong decision to eliminate his country’s nuclear arsenal to establish Kazakhstan as a partner for United States and an example to the world in non-proliferation efforts. The United States appreciates Kazakhstan’s support for our security efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
