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.

English Abstract

Sr. Editor Comúnmente las enfermedades infecciosas emergentes que afectan a los seres humanos provienen de patógenos cuyos hospederos son especies de fauna silvestre, por lo que los brotes de enfermedades zoonóticas constituyen un desafío importante para la salud humana. De hecho, la pandemia actual del Covid-19 ha puesto en evidencia que las actividades que los seres humanos realizan en los ecosistemas y el uso de las especies de fauna silvestre tienen un impacto directo en la sociedad humana.
