Syndromic surveillance for West Nile virus using raptors in rehabilitation.

摘要: Wildlife rehabilitation centers routinely gather health-related data from diverse species. Their capability to signal the occurrence of emerging pathogens and improve traditional surveillance remains largely unexplored. This paper assessed utility for syndromic raptors admitted The Raptor Center (TRC) circulation West Nile Virus (WNV) in Minnesota between 1990 2014. An exhaustive descriptive analysis using grouping time series structures models interrupted times was conducted indicator subsets. A total 13,080 were monitored. most representative species red-tailed hawks, great horned owls, Cooper’s American kestrels bald eagles. Results indicated that temporal patterns accessions at TRC changed distinctively after incursion WNV 2002. frequency hawks showing WNV-like signs increased almost 3 during July August, suggesting monitoring with could serve as an circulation. These findings also supported by results laboratory diagnosis. study demonstrates collected wildlife has potential spread may affect wild, domestic animals humans, thus supporting early detection disease incursions a region trends. Ultimately, provide insights efficiently allocate financial human resources on prevention surveillance.
