A framework for evaluating animals as sentinels for infectious disease surveillance.
The dynamics of infectious diseases are highly variable. Host ranges, host responses to pathogens and the relationships between hosts are heterogeneous. Here, we argue that the use of animal sentinels has the potential to use this variation and enable the exploitation of a wide range of pathogen hosts for surveillance purposes. Animal sentinels may be used to address many surveillance questions...
متن کاملAnimal sentinel surveillance: Evaluating domestic dogs as sentinels for zoonotic pathogen surveillance
The capacity of zoonotic pathogens to infect multiple hosts creates surveillance challenges but also provides opportunities to gather data from animal species that can be used to understand risks to human health. This thesis presents a conceptual and practical assessment of the utility of domestic dog serosurveillance for the detection and surveillance of two pathogens, influenza A and Leptospi...
متن کاملEvaluating Syndromic Data for Surveillance of Non-infectious Disease
Objective To evaluate several non-infectious disease related syndromes that are based on chief complaint (cc) emergency department (ED) syndromic surveillance (SS) data by comparing these with the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) clinical diagnosis data. In particular, this work compares SS and SPARCS data for total ED visits and visits associated with three ...
متن کاملWild great apes as sentinels and sources of infectious disease.
Emerging zoonotic infectious diseases pose a serious threat to global health. This is especially true in relation to the great apes, whose close phylogenetic relationship with humans results in a high potential for microorganism exchange. In this review, we show how studies of the microorganisms of wild great apes can lead to the discovery of novel pathogens of importance for humans. We also il...
متن کاملDomestic animals as sentinels for environmental carcinogenic agents
The idea of using animals as sentinels of environmental contaminations is not new, but until now is relatively little explored. The aim of this talk is to present evidences that lymphomas in dogs of the city of São Paulo may be associated to exposure to air pollution caused by vehicle emissions and heavy traffic, and that the spatial distribution of canine lymphomas in the city of São Paulo coi...
