Zoonoses constitute 868 (61%) of all known infectious diseases, 75% of the infections considered 'emerging' are zoonoses. Developed nations have national programmes, adjoining "One Health" concept to combat zoonoses, whereas inadequacies exist in developing nations. As a case study, role of national programmes in India, a developing nation with a large human and animal population, was explored, as we did have acquaintance of it. Data from PubMed was extracted using keywords "Zoonoses AND Prevalence/Incidence AND India AND Human OR Animal" till 2009. Additionally, some individual disease keywords were used for extraction, which were missed by the above comprehensive search terms. On appraisal, the health sector in India has only a few national programme on zoonoses where as none exists in animal husbandry sector. In the struggle against zoonoses -a major constituent of emerging infections, a system approach based, one national programme is urgently required for the developing world.
人畜共患病占所有已知传染病的868种(61%),在被视为“新出现”的感染中,75%为人畜共患病。发达国家设有国家项目,结合“同一健康”概念来防治人畜共患病,而发展中国家则存在不足。作为一个案例研究,我们探讨了国家项目在印度(一个拥有庞大人口和动物数量的发展中国家)所起的作用,因为我们对其有所了解。使用关键词“人畜共患病 AND 流行率/发病率 AND 印度 AND 人类或动物”从PubMed数据库中提取数据至2009年。此外,还使用了一些个别疾病关键词进行提取,这些关键词被上述综合检索词遗漏了。经评估,印度卫生部门只有少数关于人畜共患病的国家项目,而畜牧业部门则没有。在与作为新出现感染主要组成部分的人畜共患病作斗争中,发展中世界迫切需要一个基于系统方法的国家项目。
