Concerted action for the establishment of an european network on wildlife as reservoirs of pathogens including zoonoses

Ziel

The importance of wildlife diseases has been increasing in the latter years as a result of several factors: The conservation policies. The sustainability of endangered populations is not only based on environmental aspects (habitat maintenance, decrease of human impact....) But also on the health status of the population. In this sense, infectious and parasitic diseases are recognized as an essential factor for wildlife conservation which is gaining importance in our days. The captive propagation and reintroduction of endangered species are one of the most widely used methods for conservation, but the reintroduction programs may pose a serious risk of transmitting infectious diseases into naive wildlife populations. Moreover, these conservation procedures could also lead to a number of situations like reciprocal domestic-wild animals disease transmission and even zoonotic diseases must be considered at this point. Thus, Animal Health, as a whole, should be considered one of the most relevant factors in any well designed conservation policy.

Zoonotic diseases and wildlife. Wild animals are known reservoirs of a number of zoonoses. The relationship among Wildlife diseases and Public Health is a reality and should be a matter of concern for sanitary authorities throughout the World. The control of wildlife diseases is, therefore, an useful tool for the prevention and control of some zoonoses. Social awareness on diseases transmitted from wild animals could even act as a mechanism leading to a minor interaction between humans and wildlife populations.

Wildlife as reservoirs of domestic animals diseases. There is an increasing interest in wildlife diseases because of the interference of the wild reservoir with Eradication Programs for livestock diseases (e.g. Brucellosis, Tuberculosis). These problems did not arise until some Eradication Programs have been almost completed in several countries, but they have led to a remarkable interest in the role of wild animals as reservoirs of domestic animals diseases. Even those which are not under Eradication Programs.

There are still many unknown or poorly understood aspects about the role of wildlife as reservoirs of domestic animals diseases; thus, any improvement in our knowledge on this particular matter should be interesting from a double point of view: as a source of criteria regarding management of diseases in wildlife populations and their interaction with domestic animals and, as a consequence, providing methods of controlling diseases of significative economic importance.

The proposed European Network on Wildlife as Reservoirs of Pathogens is meant to interrelate laboratories, universities. Research centers and any other organization working on prevention and control of wild (both captive and free-living) animals diseases, with special attention to those transmissible to domestic animals and man.

The establishment of such a network should provide both an epidemiologic and a wildlife diseases laboratory diagnostics systems for wildlife diseases, but also a mechanism of communication and cooperation among people involved in wildlife diseases and their implications in animal and human health.
