Las zoonosis, aquellas enfermedades infecciosas que se transmiten entre animales y seres humanos están en el punto de mira de las autoridades sanitarias. La fiebre del Nilo occidental, el dengue, la fiebre de Crimea, la viruela del mono, la gripe aviar, el covid… patologías que, además, tienen un muy importante riesgo pandémico. Hoy, para hablar de zoonosis, tenemos a Elisa Pérez Ramírez. Elisa es doctora en veterinaria especializada en virología y trabaja en el departamento de enfermedades infecciosas y salud global del centro de investigación de sanidad animal, asociado al INIA-CSIC. Además, es coautora del libro Salud Global, en el que analiza, junto a Gorka Oribe, las enfermedades emergentes zoonóticas. ¿Qué son las zoonosis y cuáles son las más relevantes? ¿Qué patógenos pueden ser los potencialmente más peligrosos para generar una pandemia? ¿Cómo prevenir estas enfermedades y cuál es la situación actual de alguna como la gripe aviar?

El Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación convoca ayudas para las Entidades Asociativas Prioritarias por valor de 39,9 millones de euros. Los apoyos están dirigidos a la mejora de la transformación, comercialización y desarrollo de los productos que ofrecen las entidades asociativas prioritarias, con el objetivo de consigan una mayor rentabilidad La Campaña de la Renta del ejercicio 2023, se inició el pasado 3.4.24 y finaliza el próximo 1.7.24, por lo que ya puede ir preparando la documentación necesaria para su confección. Sin embargo, quienes tributen en módulos deben esperar a que se publique la Orden de módulos con las correspondientes reducciones de los índices de rendimiento neto en función del producto agrícola o ganadero y de la provincia y municipio en el que se ubique la explotación. Las lluvias acumuladas en el mes de marzo duplicaron los valores normales del mes. Se trató del cuarto marzo más lluvioso del siglo actual y sexto desde 1961, aunque el reparto de las precipitaciones fue desigual. Fue un mes cálido en el conjunto de España: la temperatura media fue 0,6 ºC superior a lo normal. El embalse de Calanda se encuentra al 31% de su capacidad y cuenta con tan solo 17 hectómetros cúbicos -hm3- de los 54 de su volumen total. Ante esta situación los regantes del Guadalope dilatarán los días entre riego y riego, pasando de los habituales 15 días a 21 con el objetivo de economizar el agua existente. La I Feria de Caza de Villanueva de Sijena se celebra los días 13 y 14 de abril con 35 expositores y numerosas actividades. La Asociación Deportiva Becaderos de Aragón (ADBA) celebraba la II Gala de Becaderos de Aragón. La DOP Somontano viaja a Italia para promocionar el oleoturismo.

Los mosquitos. Molestos y transmisores de enfermedades, pero con un rol en los ecosistemas. A veces escuchamos hablar de “invasión de mosquitos”, un término que no es académico, pero que sirve para explicar un aumento repentino. Pero, ¿qué son los mosquitos? ¿Cuántas especies hay y qué factores explican su reproducción? ¿Cómo es su ciclo biológico y por qué pican? Son algunos de los temas que conversaremos En Perspectiva con Adriana Delfraro, doctora en Ciencias Biológicas y profesora agregada de Virología del PEDECIBA; Patricia González, Doctora en Ciencias Biológicas e integrante del Departamento de Biología Animal de Facultad de Ciencias; Gabriela Willat, directora de Zoonosis y Vectores del MSP y doctora en Medicina Veterinaria; y nuestro coordinador Héctor Musto, doctor en Ciencias Biológicas.

El fruto de ese trabajo es "Diccionario del Asombro", una obra que arranca con la A de Átomo y finaliza con la Z de Zoonosis. 

Medical professionals largely agree: the world is far more susceptible to a Covid level crisis than it ever has been. Mass urbanisation, political instability and climate change are among the factors contributing to an increased risk of diseases jumping from animals into people. We hear from scientists who demand action before the next coronavirus arises, likely to be within the decade... Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

When the pandemic first spread beyond China there was a straightforward message from scientific elites: the virus came from a wild animal accidentally spilling over into humans, and any suggestion it might have instead been manipulated in a lab and then escaped was a quasi-racist conspiracy theory. However, as the years have gone on this has been shown to have been, at best, wildly premature. We now know there is plenty of evidence which actually points away from an evolutionary coincidence and towards human error in a virology lab. The exact question of covid's origins remains unresolved, and is probably unknowable, but the way the debate has fluctuated and been managed since January 2020 is both fascinating and concerning. How have virologists been genetically tweaking existing animal coronaviruses, and is it safe? Why did the scientific establishment close ranks to shut down questions about lab leaks and research in Wuhan? And how can Christians uphold the value of truth-telling, no matter the geopolitical consequences, in this era of febrile culture war? - This New Yorker article is an excellent investigation into the debate over the origins of covid https://www.newyorker.com/science/elements/the-mysterious-case-of-the-covid-19-lab-leak-theory - This New York magazine investigation from January 2021 was one of the first mainstream sceptical accounts of zoonosis to appear https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/coronavirus-lab-escape-theory.html - This British Medical Journal article covers the way lab leak theory went from crackpot fringe conspiracy theory to serious possibility https://bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n1656 - The original February 2020 statement discounting a lab leak in The Lancet https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30418-9/fulltext - This Unherd piece explores the leaked private messages between scientists as they pulled together the influential Nature article which resoundingly dismissed the lab leak theory https://unherd.com/2023/07/the-secret-messages-behind-the-lab-leak-cover-up/ - Subscribe to the Matters of Life and Death podcast: https://pod.link/1509923173 - If you want to go deeper into some of the topics we discuss, visit John's website: http://www.johnwyatt.com - For more resources to help you explore faith and the big questions, visit: http://www.premierunbelievable.com

"Viruses are the dark angels of evolution, terrific and terrible, without which, the immense biological diversity gracing our planet would collapse."In 2013 veteran science writer David Quammen wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times titled, The Next Pandemic: Not if, but When?  Seven years later he found himself writing about the horrors of the very thing he had foretold, as the Covid-19 virus surged throughout our world. This week, continuing our special Zoonotic Disease In the Spotlight month, David joins us for a second time round to discuss his book BREATHLESS: The Scientific Race to Defeat a Deadly Virus. BREATHLESS  is the story of SARS-CoV-2 and its fierce journey through the human population, as seen by the scientists who study its origin, its ever-changing nature, and its capacity to kill us.Through conversations with 95 expert scientists, David examines how Covid and other strange viruses emerge from other animals and infect we human apes, leading to global catastrophe.  This week on Talking Apes, we ask David:How did Covid-19 start?How are bats linked to Covid-19? Why do bats cause pandemics? Why do zoonotic diseases emerge from wet markets? Are all viruses bad?Did governments respond badly to the Covid-19 crisis?How can we prevent future pandemics?  Click HERE to visit David Quammen's Website.

For our March 2023 instalment we're featuring our Season 1 episode with disease detective Dr Tony Goldberg, accompanied by three brand new podcasts exploring disease ecology and the links between animal health, human health, and the environment.  Zoonotic diseases occur when viruses, bacteria, or parasites jump between humans and animals. Dr Goldberg explores how these diseases take a toll on us and apes like us.  In this episode he tells us about his quest to understand them, how we live with them, and his adventures in Africa trying to track down and eradicate a scary infection that almost wiped out an entire population of rescued chimpanzees. Tony's episode was originally aired in March 2021 at the heart of the Covid-19 pandemic which threw the world into turmoil, not only within our personal lives, but economically, culturally, and politically.  The pandemic brought to light zoonosis as a critical, prevalent issue and a constant existential threat to us all. Also in this special ZOONOSIS IN THE SPOTLIGHT season throughout March, don't miss our incredible new two-part conversation with award-winning science writer David Quammen, and finally a look at life on the frontlines of zoonotic and anthroponotic disease with mountain gorilla veterinarian Dr Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka; from heart of Uganda's gorilla country, the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.

"Twelve years ago I heard a phrase that changed my life. I was sitting at a campfire in central Africa and heard, 'thirteen dead gorillas'.  I didn't know it at the time, but that phrase was launching me on a long quest to understand the ecology and evolutionary biology of scary viruses."Join us this week on Talking Apes when we talk to science author David Quammen about his years long mission to understand zoonoses - diseases that pass between humans and animals. David's books, SPILLOVER and The Chimp and the River, investigate the origins of human pandemics like AIDS, Ebola, Marburg, Bird Flu, and Covid 19; how and why they emerge, and where they hide between outbreaks. Support the showTalking Apes is an initiative of the nonprofit GLOBIO.

We have the awesome Dr. Mike Lappin with us, the most frequent guest on our podcast! We are discussing what you can catch from your cat, i.e., zoonosis. Mike is the One Health Grand Poobah at WSAVA. They have an official connection with AAFP, not the feline one but the American Association of Family Practitioners. The purrpodcast is happy to be the first media outlet to cover this pre-announcement. What a fun episode.

Siendo parte del entorno y sus dinámicas, también formamos parte de fenómenos naturales encargados de mantener un balance adecuado, cuando estos fenómenos se ven alterados, principalmente por la actividad humana, las consecuencias pueden convertirse en una amenaza. En este episodio los integrantes de Bios Participación Política y Desarrollo nos hablan sobre las zoonosis y el proyecto Salud en Selva Maya.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Claudia talks to Christos Lynteris, an anthropologist with a long history of researching some of the interconnections between animals and disease. In this episode they focus on rats and the third plague pandemic highlighting how rats went from being understood as in relation to others to being cemented as a vilified species in the spread of disease.    Date Recorded: 29 September 2022 Christos Lynteris is Professor of Medical Anthropology at the University of St Andrews. His research focuses on the anthropological and historical examination of epidemics and has pioneered the field of the anthropological study of zoonotic diseases. His most recent book is Visual Plague: The Emergence of Epidemic Photography (MIT Press, 2022). He was also a co-author of Sulphuric Utopias: A History of Maritime Fumigation and co-editor of Plague and the City. He is also the leader of the project “The Global War Against the Rat and the Epistemic Emergence of Zoonosis” which you can read more about here. Connect with Christos on Twitter (@VisualPlague) or via the St Andrew's website (here).  Featured: Visual Plague: The Emergence of Epidemic Photography by Christos Lynteris “Scurrying seafarers: shipboard rats, plague, and the land/sea border” by Jules Skotnes-BrownSulfuric Utopias: A History of Maritime Fumigation by Lukas Engelmann and Christos Lynteris Mahamari Plague: Rats, Colonial Medicine and Indiegnous Knowledge in Kumaon and Garwal, India by Christos LynterisThe Pasteurization of France by Bruno Latour  Animal Highlight: Mosquitos - In this animal highlight Amanda focuses on mosquitoes.
