The need for a comprehensive approach to address the zoonotic disease emergency

La necesidad de un enfoque integral para abordar la emergencia de enfermedades zoonóticas

Abstract

Dear Editor

Emerging infectious diseases that affect humans commonly come from pathogens whose hosts are
wildlife species. These zoonotic disease outbreaks constitute a major challenge to human health. In
fact, the current Covid-19 pandemic has evidenced that the activities human beings carry out in
ecosystems, as well as, the use of wildlife species, have a direct impact on society.
