The dynamics of infectious diseases are highly variable. Host ranges, host responses to pathogens and the relationships between hosts are heterogeneous. Here, we argue that the use of animal sentinels has the potential to use this variation and enable the exploitation of a wide range of pathogen hosts for surveillance purposes. Animal sentinels may be used to address many surveillance questions, but they may currently be underused as a surveillance tool and there is a need for improved interdisciplinary collaboration and communication in order to fully explore the potential of animal sentinels. In different contexts, different animal hosts will themselves vary in their capacity to provide useful information. We describe a conceptual framework within which the characteristics of different host populations and their potential value as sentinels can be evaluated in a broad range of settings.
传染病的动态变化高度可变。宿主范围、宿主对病原体的反应以及宿主之间的关系各不相同。在此，我们认为使用动物哨兵有潜力利用这种变异性，并能够利用广泛的病原体宿主进行监测。动物哨兵可用于解决许多监测问题，但目前它们作为一种监测工具可能未得到充分利用，并且需要加强跨学科合作与交流，以便充分发掘动物哨兵的潜力。在不同背景下，不同的动物宿主提供有用信息的能力本身也会有所不同。我们描述了一个概念框架，在这个框架内，可以在广泛的环境中评估不同宿主种群的特征及其作为哨兵的潜在价值。
