Examples of specific actions by the veterinarians to combat the emergence of zoonotic diseases. (A) - Studies to monitor multiple factors (environmental, temporal, and others) available in Geographic Information Systems that allow indicating changes for the modeling and forecasting of diseases. (B) - Environmental control that indirectly interferes in the control of vectors and/or hosts amplifying agents that transmit zoonotic diseases. (C) - Monitoring of wildlife through research that evaluates changes in the host and potential pathogens. (D) - In vitro investigation regarding the evolution of the characteristics of infectious agents over time. (E)-Health education through clarification to the population about the risks and care to be taken in human-animal contact. (F) - Production of diagnostic tests and vaccines using animal models based on comparative medicine. (G) - Application of translational medicine and zoobiquity in the exchange of experiences between teams of multi health professionals. (H) - Sanitary control in pets and production animals. (I) - Inspection and control of food of animal origin.
