spelling The COVID-19 pandemic: The importance of being alert to zoonoses.La pandemia de COVID-19: Importancia de estar alerta ante las zoonosis.E. Cortés, ManuelSARS-CoV-2COVID-19ZoonosesOne HealthThe pandemic of Coronavirus Disease - 2019 (COVID) has produced hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of infected people worldwide, with the consequent collapse of health systems. SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus causing COVID-19, is a pathogen with a zoonotic origin. The objective of this article is to highlight the importance of being alert to zoonoses, with special reference to COVID-19. First, the general chronology of the COVID-19 pandemic is described, then the characteristics of the coronaviruses are described in detail, especially regarding those of SARS-CoV-2. Subsequently, the One Health concept is highlighted as an appropriate approach to face this zoonosis and other related ones. Furthermore, the importance of unequivocally identifying the SARS-CoV-2 reservoir and intermediate animals as part of the knowledge necessary to develop treatments and a vaccine for COVID-19 and related diseases is highlighted. It is concluded that it is important that the One Health approach be known, communicated and integrated by all health centres and health professionals because, considering the severity of zoonoses such as COVID-19, we should not forget that human health is linked to animal health, and both with environmental health. Finally, it is recommended that health agencies maintain preventive measures and personal distancing to avoid more infections.La pandemia de Enfermedad por Coronavirus – 2019 (COVID) ha producido cientos de miles de muertos y millones de contagiados en el mundo, con el consecuente colapso de los sistemas de salud. SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus causante de COVID-19, es un agente patógeno de origen zoonótico. El objetivo de este artículo es destacar la importancia de estar alerta ante las zoonosis, con especial referencia a COVID-19. Primero, se describe de forma general la cronología de la pandemia de COVID-19, luego se describen en detalle las características de los coronavirus, profundizando en aquellas propias de SARS- CoV-2. Posteriormente, se destaca el concepto de Salud Única como un enfoque apropiado para enfrentar esta zoonosis y otras relacionadas. Además, se destaca la importancia de identificar inequívocamente al reservorio y al intermediario de SARS-CoV-2 como parte del conocimiento necesario para desarrollar tratamientos y una vacuna para COVID-19 y enfermedades relacionadas. Se concluye que es importante que el enfoque de Salud Única sea conocido, difundido e integrado por todos los centros de salud y los profesionales sanitarios ya que, ante la gravedad de zoonosis como COVID-19, no debemos olvidar que la salud humana está vinculada con la salud animal, y estas dos, con la salud ambiental. Finalmente, se recomienda que los organismos de salud mantengan las medidas de prevención y distanciamiento personal para evitar más contagios.Universidad Ricardo Palma2020-12-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmltext/htmlapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/345110.25176/RFMH.v21i1.3451Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana; Vol 21 No 1 (2021): Revista de la Facultad de Medicina HumanaRevista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana; Vol. 21 Núm. 1 (2021): Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana2308-05311814-5469reponame:Revista URP - Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humanainstname:Universidad Ricardo Palmainstacron:URPspaenghttp://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/3451/4419http://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/3451/4381http://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/3451/4445http://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/3451/4487info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-06-02T16:10:27Zmail@mail.com -
