This joint protocol describes two scoping reviews that will identify and describe evidence for climate sensitivity of companion animal zoonotic diseases in cat, dog, and human populations worldwide.
Climate change is a driver for emerging and re-emerging zoonotic diseases of global health concern. Companion animals can transmit over 70 zoonotic pathogens, some of which are sensitive to changes in meteorological factors. There is disparate evidence in our understanding of climate-sensitive companion animal zoonotic diseases.
Primary research articles that describe 1) an association or effect between meteorological factors and the risk of zoonotic disease, 2) the presence of spatiotemporal variations in disease incidence or prevalence, or 3) the projected impacts of climate emission scenarios on disease trends will be included.
A comprehensive search strategy was developed using index terms and keywords for populations of interest, companion animal zoonotic diseases, and meteorological factors. Articles will be searched on MEDLINE (via Ovid), AGRICOLA (via ProQuest), and Web of Science. Additional articles will be identified using citation tracking. Independent reviewers will systematically apply a two-step study screening process based on defined eligibility criteria. Key study characteristics and findings will be collated and presented as a descriptive summary using graphical and tabular formats.
Two separate protocols have been registered in Open Science Framework. The first review consolidates evidence in cat and dog populations (https://osf.io/ydgc2), while the second review is focused on human populations (https://osf.io/3cvx2).
本联合方案描述了两项范围综述，旨在识别和描述全球猫、狗及人类群体中伴侣动物人畜共患病气候敏感性的证据。
气候变化是引发和重新引发全球健康关注的人畜共患病的一个驱动因素。伴侣动物可传播70多种人畜共患病原体，其中一些对气象因素变化敏感。在我们对气候敏感的伴侣动物人畜共患病的理解方面，证据存在差异。
将纳入描述以下内容的原始研究文章：1）气象因素与人畜共患病风险之间的关联或影响；2）疾病发病率或患病率的时空变化情况；3）气候排放情景对疾病趋势的预测影响。
使用针对目标人群、伴侣动物人畜共患病和气象因素的索引词和关键词制定了全面的检索策略。将在MEDLINE（通过Ovid）、AGRICOLA（通过ProQuest）和科学网搜索文章。将使用引文跟踪识别其他文章。独立评审人员将根据既定的纳入标准系统地应用两步研究筛选过程。关键研究特征和结果将进行整理，并以图形和表格形式呈现为描述性总结。
两项独立方案已在开放科学框架中注册。第一项综述整合猫和狗群体中的证据（https://osf.io/ydgc2），而第二项综述侧重于人类群体（https://osf.io/3cvx2）。
