Abstract
in English, Spanish

To effect a structured review about what emerging zoonoses represent, we present the following aspects in a deliberately biased way: firstly, by way of introduction, we discuss certain concepts and characteristics common to the profile of an emergent agent; secondly, we comment on the factors that facilitate the emergence of zoonotic infections at present; and finally, we describe the surveillance, medical practice and laboratory work in this area.

En orden a efectuar una reflexión estructurada sobre lo que representan las zoonosis emergentes expondremos de manera deliberadamente sesgada los siguientes aspectos: en primer término, aludiremos a modo de introducción a determinados conceptos y características comunes al perfil de un agente emergente modelo; en segundo lugar, comentaremos los factores que contribuyen a facilitar la emergencia de las infecciones zoonóticas en el momento presente, y en última instancia, presentaremos de modo secuencial una reflexión sobre la vigilancia, la práctica médica asistencial y el papel de los laboratorios en este ámbito.
