RESUMEN: El crecimiento de la población mundial en los próxi-mos años, provocará un incremento en la demanda de alimentos. Como consecuencia, el número de animales de producción sufrirá un aumento importante y la Sanidad Animal constituirá un elemento crítico a la hora de tratar y prevenir las enfermedades, garantizando el abastecimiento y la seguridad. La biotecnología contribuye de múltiples formas al desarrollo de la Sanidad Animal. Fundamentalmente, aporta herramientas que ayudan al control y erradicación de las enfermedades. El desarrollo de la ingeniería genética en las últimas décadas ha favorecido el avance de la industria biotecnológica aplicada a la sanidad humana y animal. Existen un gran número de ensayos de diagnóstico basados en desarrollos biotecnológicos, así mismo, cada vez hay más vacunas recombinantes contra enfermedades animales. La prevención y control eficientes de las enfermedades dependerán de mecanismos de detección temprana, que faciliten la toma de decisiones y una respuesta rápida. PALABRAS CLAVE:Vacunación; VLPs; diagnóstico; inmunoensayos; DIVA; ensayos múltiples; ensayos de campo; PCR.ABSTRACT: The growth of the world population in forthcoming years will cause an increase in the demand of food. As a result, the number of working animals is set to rise significantly and Animal Health will become a vital issue when it comes to treating and preventing diseases, and guaranteeing and uninterrupted and safe food supply. Biotechnology contributes to the development of Animal Health in many ways. First and foremost, it provides tools that help control and eradicate diseases. The progress of genetic engineering in recent decades has underpinned the development of the biotechnology industry applied to human and animal health. There are a large number of diagnostic tests based on biotechnological developments, and there is also an increase in the use of recombinant vaccines against animal diseases. An effective prevention and control of diseases will depend on early detection mechanisms that facilitate decisionmaking and enable a rapid response. KEYWORDS:Vaccination; VLPs; diagnostic; immunoassays; DIVA; multiplex assays; field tests; PCR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
