The data results of monitoring of epizootic bovine leucosis in Ukraine starting from 2000 and by September 2012 are given. Based on reporting animal health service of Ukraine as of November 2012, in Ukraine there are 2316 animals suffering from leukemia, which is 3006 animals less than for the same period last year. Unfavourable by leukemia farms are located in four regions of Ukraine: Donetsk, Luhansk, Rivne, Kharkiv.

After a detailed analysis of health counterleukaemic events the leading scholars together with experts from the State Department of Veterinary Medicine concluded that it is necessary to introduce new and more effective methods of diagnosis of leukemia, primarily ELISA and PCR (enzyme analysis and polymerase – chain reaction) for accelerating health care more effective measures to eliminate leukemia in the farms of Ukraine.
