“…The Laguna Negra virus appears to be associated with the three related host species Calomys laucha in Chaco Paraguay [178], Calomys callosus in Northern Argentina [179] and Bolivia [180] and Calomys callidus in Central-Eastern Brazil [174]. Similarly, after the first description of the Limestone Canyon virus in Peromyscus boylii , discovered in northern Arizona, USA [181], the same genotype was detected in P. hylocetes and Peromyscus melanotis in Mexico, P. levipes in Nuevo León, P. ochraventer in San Luis Potosí, and P. spicilegus in Jalisco [182]. Although these are natural hosts, these species are not necessarily the main host for the virus.…”

Since the recognition of hantavirus as the agent responsible for haemorrhagic fever in Eurasia in the 1970s and, 20 years later, the descovery of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in the Americas, the genus Hantavirus has been continually described throughout the World in a variety of wild animals. The diversity of wild animals infected with hantaviruses has only recently come into focus as a result of expanded wildlife studies. The known reservoirs are more than 80, belonging to 51 species of rodents, 7 bats (order Chiroptera) and 20 shrews and moles (order Soricomorpha). More than 80genetically related viruses have been classified within Hantavirus genus; 25 recognized as human pathogens responsible for a large spectrum of diseases in the Old and New World. In Brazil, where the diversity of mammals and especially rodents is considered one of the largest in the world, 9 hantavirus genotypes have been identified in 12 rodent species belonging to the genus Akodon, Calomys, Holochilus, Oligoryzomys, Oxymycterus, Necromys and Rattus. Considering the increasing number of animals that have been implicated as reservoirs of different hantaviruses, the understanding of this diversity is important for evaluating the risk of distinct hantavirus species as human pathogens.

“…Como ejemplo, podemos citar que en 1967 en Ocozocoautla de Espinosa, Chiapas, al sur de México, ocurrió un brote de epidemia de fiebre hemorrágica producido por el arn de un virus (arenavirus) localizado en ratones mexicanos de la especie Peromyscus mexicanus, causando una enfermedad febril en humanos parecida a la fiebre hemorrágica del dengue (Cajimat et al, 2012).…”

“…Los seres humanos se infectan con arenavirus por inhalación de virus en gotitas en aerosol de secreciones o excreciones de roedores infectados (Cajimat et al, 2012). Otra fuente de infección puede ser la ingestión de roedores infectados (Montali et al, 1993), ya que el consumo de roedores silvestres es común en las zonas rurales de algunas regiones de México.…”

Es de gran importancia conocer y evaluar las enfermedades zoonóticas emergentes que existen en el sureste de México, ya que representan una amenaza significativa para la salud pública. Los cambios antropogénicos, por ejemplo, la deforestación, el establecimiento de monocultivos, el aumento de la urbanización y la densidad poblacional humana son responsables de la mayoría de las enfermedades infecciosas emergentes zoonóticas. Pronósticos de eventos emergentes indican que en los países con ambientes tropicales (como México) existe una mayor diversidad de zoonosis transmitidas por animales silvestres, por lo que debemos contener y dar rápida respuesta ante posibles brotes de dengue hemorrágico y otras fiebres hemorrágicas virales (FHV). Es importante contar con datos actualizados de las posibles áreas de distribución y ecosistemas de las especies de mamíferos (en particular roedores y murciélagos) que potencialmente pueden ser reservorios o vectores de varias de las FHV, crear modelos con información base para contener brotes de FHV, así como determinar los cambios en los ambientes y la distribución de especies afectadas por actividades humanas.

“…The distribution of recorded cases of HPS and the distribution of Hantavirus seroprevalent rodents in the Americas is not coincidental for several reasons: (1) not all Hantaviruses have been associated with HPS; (2) our knowledge of hantaviral diversity present in the continent is likely incomplete; and (3) HPS may be confused with clinically similar diseases. In North America, five Hantaviruses known to cause HPS are the Sin Nombre virus (SNV), New York virus (NYV), Choclo virus (CHOV), Black Creek Canal virus (BCCV), and Bayou virus (BAYV) ( 83 , 88 ). SNV is the major cause of HPS in the US and Canada, where Peromyscus maniculatus (deer mouse) is the primary rodent reservoir ( 81 , 89 ).…”

Transboundary zoonotic diseases, several of which are vector borne, can maintain a dynamic focus and have pathogens circulating in geographic regions encircling multiple geopolitical boundaries. Global change is intensifying transboundary problems, including the spatial variation of the risk and incidence of zoonotic diseases. The complexity of these challenges can be greater in areas where rivers delineate international boundaries and encompass transitions between ecozones. The Rio Grande serves as a natural border between the US State of Texas and the Mexican States of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas. Not only do millions of people live in this transboundary region, but also a substantial amount of goods and people pass through it everyday. Moreover, it occurs over a region that functions as a corridor for animal migrations, and thus links the Neotropic and Nearctic biogeographic zones, with the latter being a known foci of zoonotic diseases. However, the pathogenic landscape of important zoonotic diseases in the south Texas–Mexico transboundary region remains to be fully understood. An international perspective on the interplay between disease systems, ecosystem processes, land use, and human behaviors is applied here to analyze landscape and spatial features of Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Hantavirus disease, Lyme Borreliosis, Leptospirosis, Bartonellosis, Chagas disease, human Babesiosis, and Leishmaniasis. Surveillance systems following the One Health approach with a regional perspective will help identifying opportunities to mitigate the health burden of those diseases on human and animal populations. It is proposed that the Mexico–US border along the Rio Grande region be viewed as a continuum landscape where zoonotic pathogens circulate regardless of national borders.
