  4. “Veterinary radiobiology” Study guide. Plyushchikov V. G., Semenov O. G. Moscow: RUDN, 2016. - 296 p.
    Abstract: The study guide presents the fundamental task that constitutes the task of radiobiology - understanding of the general laws of biological response to the effects of ionizing radiation and the need to explain the radiobiological paradox, consisting in the discrepancy between the negligible amount of absorbed energy and extreme reactions of irradiated objects. Objectives of veterinary radiobiology: the study of radiation damage of organisms with their total exposure, the study of the biological effectiveness of ionizing radiations and their interaction with the irradiated matter, the study of the causes of the radiosensitivity of various organisms, identifying various means of protecting the body from radiation and post radiation recovery from damage, the prediction of the danger to humanity of rising radiation levels of the environment, finding new ways of using ionizing radiation in medicine, agricultural production, food and microbiological industry were formulated.

Dovletyarova, E.A., Mosina, L.V., Hajiaghayeva, R.A., Aliyeva, N.V., Plyuschikov, V.G. The effects of soil-ecological factors on the Pb migration in the soil of urban forest ecosystem. 2018, Springer Geography, с. 99-105
Lead is one of the most dangerous heavy metals for human. The studies of lead migration in the soil as are significantly important to forecast the transfer factors of lead in ecosystems. The paper represents data of lead concentration in dependence of the soil depth and degrees of anthropogenic impact. The research revealed influence of anthropogenic impact and species of arboreal vegetation on Pb migration in the soil profile. The results of lead concentration positively varyin the soil due to anthropogenic impact from 62.2 mg/kg to 139 mg/kg. The effect of arboreal vegetation species results in the high Pb migration down the soil profile in pine and birch sites and preferable accumulation of Pb in the upper humus horizon in the oak sites.
A.N. Ignatov, M.V. Khodykina, S.V. Vinogradova, V.A. Polityko, V.G. Plyuschikov, K.P. Kornev First Report of Rhizogenic Strains of Agrobacterium Biovar1 Causing Root Mat of Cucumber and Tomato in Russia. Plant Diseases. 2016.
Since 2013, many hydroponic cucumber (Cucumis sativus) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) crops in the Russian Federation have been affected by a root disorder known as “root mat” or “crazy roots.” The symptoms include extensive root proliferation within rockwool propagation cubes. Crazy roots has been reported in United Kingdom, France (Weller et al. 2000), and Japan (Sawada and Azegami 2014), where it caused significant reductions in marketable yield. The causal agent of this disease was shown to be wild-type Agrobacterium radiobacter biovar 1 strains harboring a Ri-plasmid (Weller et al. 2000). In the Russian Federation, crazy roots was found for the first time in winter 2013-2014 in the Novgorod Region on cucumber and tomato plants grown hydroponically in rockwool.
Seregin I.G., Nikitchenko V.E., Plyushchikov V.G., Nikitchenko D.V., Kubatbekov T.S. Veterinary-Sanitary Examination of Domestic and Wild Duck Meat at Sarcocystosis Information, Vol. 19, No. 10(B), October, 2016. P. 4935-4942
The article presents findings of investigation of domestic and wild ducks carcasses to determine the extensity and intensity of affecting them with sarcocystosis as well as learning the basic symptoms of pre-slaughter and post-slaughter diagnosis of disease. The authors determine also marketability, organoleptic, physical, chemical, and microbiological indicators of domestic and wild ducks meat affected by sarcocystosis comparing it with healthy poultry meat. In recent decades, sarcocystosis became widespread in both animals and poultry. It is revealed that sarcocystosis affects many species of farm animals, as well as domestic and wild poultry. The affected animals are characterized by reduced fatness and deteriorated consumer properties of meat, as the water content in the meat becomes higher at a smaller amount of protein, fat and extractive substances.
