Sumario: |
SARS-COV-2 pandemic evidence that the impact of new zoonotic diseases
can be on both social and economical levels. Since such agents are
originated from wildlife reservoir communities, there’s a need for more
active actions to be taken in case of jeopardizing public health’s situation.
The first step is establishing a routinary reporting data system of
wildlife diseases by implementing a local surveillance system able for
monitoring the presence of endemic and possible new agents. In countries
like Costa Rica, which are very diverse not only in fauna but also in
macro-microparasites. It’s highly recommended to set up an early warning
system for zoonotic agents detection.
The aim of this project undertook to evaluate the feasibility of establishing
a passive surveillance system where selected infectious agents
would be monitored. The focus was on obtaining information on pathologies
of terrestrial mammals and birds in the wild suspected of disease
sent for investigation in two years. |
