SUMMARYA questionnaire survey was undertaken to determine the exposure of a study population to campylobacteriosis source risk factors (environmental, water, food) and results were stratified by age, population density and deprivation. Data were gathered using an exposure assessment carried out by telephone in the Grampian region of Scotland. Univariate analysis showed that children aged 5-14 years, living in low population density (0-44 . 4 persons/km 2 ) and affluent areas had elevated exposure to environmental and water risk factors. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that younger age groups and lower population density were significant indicators for most environmental risk factors. The results compared to reported disease incidence in Grampian showed that greater exposure to risk factors does not necessarily coincide with greater disease incidence for age groups, particularly for the 0-4 years age group. Further research is required to explain the relationship between exposure and disease incidence.

“…In order to do so, scientists should be encouraged to employ the same up-to-date technology on animal populations as is used in humans, for consistency of results. Finally, research on zoonotic parasitic infections should embrace the use of a multidisciplinary tools in order to analyse their results and thus produce conclusions that can be used to inform other interested parties across different fields, from public health to conservation medicine and encompassing biogeography, molecular epidemiology and mathematical modelling (Stephens et al, 1998;Daszak et al, 2004;Morens et al, 2004;Wilcox & Gubler, 2005).…”

Zoonotic schistosomiasis in non-human primates: past, present and future activities at the human–wildlife interface in Africa

et al. 2012

Schistosomiasis is one of the world's most widely distributed and prevalent parasitic diseases. Less widely recognized is that some species of Schistosoma, including several that commonly affect humans, also cause disease in other mammalian species; in particular, infections in non-human primates are known. With interest increasing in emerging zoonotic diseases, the status of schistosomiasis as a zoonotic infection is in need of re-appraisal, especially in light of advances in application of molecular screening and epidemiological tools where newly reported infections raise general animal welfare and conservation concerns. Focusing on Africa, this review provides a summary of the occurrence of schistosomiasis in non-human primates and discusses new ways in which surveillance for schistosomiasis should be integrated into more effective conservation management and disease control strategies. Emphasis is on the more common forms of human schistosomiasis, their clinical manifestations and epidemiological significance in terms of infection reservoir potential.

“…El papel de las ciencias veterinarias y zootécnicas en la industria farmacéutica debe ser de alta importancia, si se considera que además de su contribución al crecimiento económico del sector, tiene responsabilidad directa en la salud animal y pública; hecho que se enfatiza por el papel que juega el cambio y adaptación de patógenos, incluyendo la aparición de microbios resistentes a los tratamientos, en la emersión de enfermedades infecciosas (23). También, un efecto muy importante y que ha sido poco estudiado en el país, es la bioacumulación de sustancias en las cadenas alimenticias que pueden generar alteraciones morfológicas, fisiológicas y disrupción endocrina en algunas especies, incluyendo al ser humano (24).…”

RESUMENSe hace revisión de literatura de los ámbitos de aplicación de la medicina veterinaria y la zootecnia con el objetivo de entender su significado y acción en la sociedad actual y futura, con énfasis en la realidad colombiana. Se muestra cómo estas ciencias tienen competencias y responsabilidades importantes en diversos sectores como el ambiental, social, una salud y no únicamente en el agropecuario. La crisis ambiental y el gran dinamismo que caracteriza el mundo contemporáneo, han creado nuevas necesidades que representan una gran oportunidad para las ciencias veterinarias y zootécnicas, si éstas logran responder a los nuevos retos y aprovechar su rol natural en los sectores que ahora les competen. Su institucionalidad y hegemonía dependerá de su capacidad de adaptación, flexibilidad y liderazgo. Por lo tanto, es pertinente que las ciencias veterinarias y zootécnicas colombianas realicen una prospección colectiva disciplinaria para entender los nuevos retos y les permita prepararse para el futuro.Palabras clave: Ciencias agrícolas, competencia profesional, medicina veterinaria, servicios veterinarios, zootecnia (Fuente:CAB). ABSTRACTA review of the Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics is done aiming to understand their significance and performance in the current and future society, with main focus in the Colombian reality. The review shows the competences and responsibilities that these sciences have in diverse sectors such as the environmental, social and health, area, and not just in agriculture. The environmental crisis and the dynamics of the modern world have created new needs that represent a great opportunity for the Veterinary sciences and Zootechnics, if they can respond to new challenges and make use of their natural role in the sectors that now are of their competence. Their institutionally and hegemony will depend on their adaptation, flexibility and leadership capacity. Therefore, this is pertinent for the Zootechnics and Veterinary sciences to perform a collective disciplinary prospection to understand new challenges and prepare for the future.
