Correlation between laboratory services and reporting requirements for selected zoonoses

P R Schnurrenberger, W T Hubbert

    Public Health Reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)
    |March 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Public health departments provide more zoonotic disease diagnostic services than agricultural agencies, with a stronger link between reporting and service availability in public health labs. Consolidating services could save resources.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Public Health
    • Zoonotic Disease Surveillance
    • Comparative Laboratory Services

    Background:

    • Zoonoses pose significant public health and agricultural challenges.
    • Coordinated diagnostic services are crucial for effective zoonotic disease management.
    • Understanding the roles of public health and agricultural agencies in zoonoses is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the zoonotic disease reporting requirements and diagnostic services offered by public health and agricultural departments across the 50 United States.
    • To assess the correlation between disease reporting mandates and the availability of diagnostic services.
    • To identify potential areas for resource conservation through service duplication analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Nationwide survey of all state public health and agriculture departments.

  • Data collection on reported zoonoses and available diagnostic services.
  • Statistical analysis to determine correlations and identify service overlaps.

    • Main Results:

    • Public health departments reported and offered services for a greater number of zoonoses compared to agricultural agencies.
    • A stronger correlation between disease reporting and service availability was observed in public health laboratories.
    • Public health laboratories universally offered brucellosis and tularemia services; agricultural labs offered brucellosis (47 states) and leptospirosis (45 states) services.
    • Fifteen public health and 11 agricultural agencies provided services for all reportable zoonoses in their states.
    • Public health labs in 12 states tested non-human specimens.

    Conclusions:

    • Public health agencies play a more comprehensive role in zoonotic disease diagnostics than agricultural agencies.
    • Duplication of diagnostic services between public health and agricultural agencies within states is common.
    • Eliminating service duplication presents an opportunity to conserve valuable laboratory resources.
