Reemerging zoonoses with “One Health” approach

Las zoonosis reemergentes bajo el enfoque de “Una salud”

In 2004, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined emerging zoonoses as those “newly recognized or newly evolved, or that have occurred previously but show an increase in incidence or expansion in geographical, host or vector range” (1). Approximately 60% of infectious diseases affecting humans are of zoonotic origin (2), and vectors transmit almost 20% of all of them. It emphasizes the connection between human, animal, and environmental health, and the need to study these diseases in their biological, ecological, medical, and economic context to promote and guarantee health globally.
