Determining the factors that influence the transmission of parasites among hosts is important for directing surveillance of animal parasites before they successfully emerge in humans, and increasing the efficacy of programs for the control and management of zoonotic diseases. Here we present a review of recent advances in the study of parasite sharing, wildlife ecology, and epidemiology that could be extended and incorporated into proactive surveillance frameworks for multi-host infectious diseases. These methods reflect emerging interdisciplinary techniques with significant promise for the identification of future zoonotic parasites and unknown reservoirs of current zoonoses, strategies for the reduction of parasite prevalence and transmission among hosts, and decreasing the burden of infectious diseases.
确定影响寄生虫在宿主间传播的因素,对于在动物寄生虫成功传播给人类之前进行监测,并提高人畜共患病控制和管理项目的成效而言至关重要。在此,我们综述了寄生虫共享、野生动物生态学和流行病学研究的最新进展,这些进展可加以扩展并纳入多宿主传染病的主动监测框架。这些方法反映了新兴的跨学科技术,在识别未来的人畜共患寄生虫和当前人畜共患病的未知宿主、降低寄生虫在宿主间的流行率和传播以及减轻传染病负担方面具有重大前景。
