The importance of parasitic zoonoses continues to increase on both local and global scales as interactions between people and animals become more frequent through global travel, intensification of agriculture, habitat devastation, and changes in world trade patterns. A current and real threat is the potential for a deliberate introduction of a zoonotic disease through the prospect of bioterrorism. Parasitic zoonoses represent significant problems in public health, animal agriculture and conservation, and the meat industry. There is an urgent need for integration of medical and veterinary services, continuous disease surveillance in both humans and animals, the teaching of zoonoses to medical doctors, and intensified research on zoonotic agents and diseases. The convergence of both public health and veterinary services currently represents a real challenge for managing zoonotic diseases.
随着全球旅行、农业集约化、栖息地破坏以及世界贸易模式变化,人与动物之间的互动日益频繁,寄生虫性人兽共患病在地方和全球范围内的重要性持续上升。当前一个切实存在的威胁是,有可能通过生物恐怖主义蓄意引入人兽共患病。寄生虫性人兽共患病在公共卫生、动物养殖、保护以及肉类行业中都是重大问题。迫切需要整合医疗和兽医服务,持续对人和动物进行疾病监测,向医生传授人兽共患病知识,并加强对人兽共患病原体和疾病的研究。目前,公共卫生和兽医服务的融合对控制人兽共患病来说是一项实实在在的挑战。
