Zoonoses and Public Health
Scope & Guideline
Empowering research to enhance public health resilience.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Zoonotic Disease Surveillance:
Research focused on monitoring and analyzing diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans, including epidemiological studies and outbreak investigations. - Risk Assessment and Public Health Implications:
Studies that assess the risk factors associated with zoonotic diseases, including socio-environmental influences, and their implications for public health policies. - Pathogen Detection and Characterization:
Research involving the molecular detection, characterization, and resistance profiling of zoonotic pathogens in various animal hosts and environmental samples. - One Health Approach:
Interdisciplinary studies that integrate human, animal, and environmental health to address zoonotic diseases through collaborative strategies. - Antimicrobial Resistance:
Investigations into the prevalence and mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic pathogens, particularly in relation to livestock and companion animals. - Public Awareness and Behavioral Studies:
Research aimed at understanding public knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors towards zoonotic diseases and preventive measures.
Trending and Emerging
- Emerging Zoonotic Diseases:
Recent publications highlight an increased focus on newly emerging zoonotic diseases such as SARS-CoV-2 and other novel pathogens, reflecting the urgent need for surveillance and understanding of these threats. - Antimicrobial Resistance and One Health:
There is a growing emphasis on studies that address antimicrobial resistance from a One Health perspective, integrating animal health, human health, and environmental factors. - Climate Change and Zoonosis:
Research investigating the impact of climate change on the emergence and spread of zoonotic diseases is on the rise, emphasizing the need for adaptive public health strategies. - Socio-environmental Determinants of Health:
Increasing attention is being given to how socio-environmental factors influence the occurrence and transmission of zoonotic diseases, indicating a shift towards holistic health approaches. - Public Health Communication and Education:
Emerging themes include the importance of public health communication strategies and educational interventions to enhance community awareness and response to zoonotic risks.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Zoonotic Diseases:
Research related to historically significant zoonotic diseases such as rabies and certain foodborne pathogens like Salmonella may be receiving less attention as newer threats and emerging diseases gain focus. - Animal-Based Studies:
There seems to be a waning interest in studies that solely focus on zoonotic pathogens in wildlife or companion animals without a direct public health implication compared to integrated One Health studies. - Geographical Specificity:
Publications that focus narrowly on specific geographical regions or localized outbreaks may be declining, as broader, comparative studies with regional implications become more relevant. - Veterinary Practices:
Research specifically centered on veterinary antimicrobial practices may be declining as the focus shifts towards broader public health implications and cross-sector collaborations.
