- 兽医病毒学 兽医病毒学
- 野生动物流行病学
- 动物传染病研究研究
背景情况:
- 在动物群体中,COVID-19大流行提高了对冠状病毒 (CoV) 的认识.
- 除了蝙蝠以外的哺乳动物也可能携带各种各样的冠状病毒,它们可能在人类传染病中发挥作用.
- 了解野生动物的Cov多样性对于防止动物传染性溢出事件至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了调查意大利野生动物中的CoV多样性.
- 评估SARS-CoV-2在易受感染的野生动物物种中建立的可能性.
主要方法:
- 在意大利进行了一项为期两年的全国性调查,针对来自五个哺乳动物种群的野生动物.
- 在所有地点进行标准化样本采集,目标组织和分子检测.

Principles of Disease Surveillance
136
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Threats to Biodiversity
22.5K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Steps in Outbreak Investigation
155
In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Epiphytes, Parasites, and Carnivores
13.1K
Plants often form mutualistic relationships with soil-dwelling fungi or bacteria to enhance their roots’ nutrient uptake ability. Root-colonizing fungi (e.g., mycorrhizae) increase a plant’s root surface area, which promotes nutrient absorption. While root-colonizing, nitrogen-fixing bacteria (e.g., rhizobia) convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3), making nitrogen available to plants for various biological functions. For example, nitrogen is essential for the...
