Animals as Early Detectors of Bioevents: Veterinary Tools and a Framework for Animal-Human Integrated Zoonotic Disease Surveillance

摘要: The threat of bioterrorism and emerging infectious diseases has prompted various public health agencies to recommend enhanced surveillance activities supplement existing plans. majority bioterrorist agents are zoonotic. Animals more sensitive certain biological agents, their use as clinical sentinels, a means early detection, is warranted.This article provides design methods for local integrated zoonotic plan materials developed veterinarians assist in the detection bioevents. Zoonotic U.S. currently too limited compartmentalized broader objectives. To rapidly detect respond bioevents, collaboration cooperation among at federal, state, levels must be maintained. Co-analysis animal human may facilitate response disease events limit morbidity mortality both a...
