Pathogenic Landscape of Transboundary Zoonotic Diseases in the Mexico–US Border Along the Rio Grande

摘要: Transboundary zoonotic diseases, several of which are vector borne, can maintain a dynamic focus, and have pathogens circulating in geographic regions encircling multiple geopolitical boundaries. Global change is intensifying transboundary problems including the spatial variation risk incidence diseases. The complexity these challenges be greater areas where rivers delineate international boundaries encompass transitions between ecozones. Rio Grande serves as natural border US State Texas Mexican States Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas. Not only millions people live this region but also substantial movement goods pass through it everyday. Moreover, occurs over that functions corridor for animal migrations, thus links Neotropic Nearctic biogeographic zones, with latter being known foci However, pathogenic landscape important diseases south Texas-Mexico remains to fully understood. An perspective on interplay disease systems, ecosystem processes, land use, human behaviors applied here analyze features Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Hantavirus disease, Lyme Borreliosis, Leptospirosis, Bartonellosis, Chagas Babesiosis, Leishmaniasis. Surveillance systems following One Health approach regional will help identifying opportunities mitigate health burden those populations. It proposed Mexico-US border, along viewed continuum circulate regardless national borders.
