Setting priorities for surveillance, prevention, and control of zoonoses in Bogotá, Colombia

Abstract: According to the experts, influenza A(H1N1) was the most important zoonoses. Rabies, leptospirosis, brucellosis, and toxoplasmosis were identified as priority diseases by both the experts and the exposed workers. This is the first prioritization exercise focused on zoonoses surveillance, prevention, and control in Colombia. These results could be used to guide decision-making for resource allocation in public health.

“…During 2014-2016, CDC successfully carried out 7 OHZ-DP workshops in Thailand, Kenya (27), Ethiopia (28), Azerbaijan, Cameroon, South Africa, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Several other tools and methods have been applied to prioritize zoonotic diseases (30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36), but the OHZDP process is unique in that it enables country-led decisions using a multisectoral approach to prioritize both emerging and endemic zoonotic diseases while strengthening One Health collaborations and developing action plans to build capacity for the prioritized zoonoses. In addition, the OHZDP tool can meet the needs of those working in areas where quantitative data on zoonoses are lacking.…”

“…Se destaca que el entorno donde vive la población asociado a la crianza de ganado bovino, ovino y caprino, facilita la transmisión hacia los perros (9) . Respecto a la valoración de la desparasitación de los perros, se corroboran los reportes de Cediel et al (27) , que reconocen a esta práctica como un elemento protector, aun cuando no reconocen al perro como hospedero responsable de la transmisión. A pesar de validar la desparasitación, la frecuencia del tratamiento es insuficiente para mantener controlado al parásito, y esa situación aumenta el riesgo de contagio (42) .…”

“…Respecto del Hanta, es la zoonosis más conocida entre la población rural, al igual que en los estudios de Cediel et al (27) . Se evidencia buen nivel de conocimientos y prácticas, la gran mayoría reconoce al roedor como agente responsable de la transmisión, identifican mayor riesgo de contagio al ingresar a lugares cerrados y deshabitados.…”

“…Most recent publications have moved toward using more quantitative methods for prioritization, however all still rely on subject matter expert (SME) opinion at some time during the process. Although a few of the recent publications are focused on prioritization in developing countries [20] – [22] , efforts overall remain limited to a small subset of health institutions, particularly to those located in developed countries with greater access to scientific expertise and specific disease prevalence data [13] [19] .…”
