Zoonotické patogény lietajúcich stavovcov v kontexte jedného zdravia

Bats and birds are natural reservoir hosts or vectors of many pathogens-causes of infectious diseases. Birds crossing national and continental borders represent, together with bats, very suitable reservoir species for a diverse range of pathogens and may be involved in the emergence of new zoonotic infectious disease outbreaks, including those caused by coronaviruses. The emergence of new infectious diseases, including zoonoses, is related to socio-economic, environmental and ecological environmental factors. Surveillance with targeted trapping will aim at the detailed identification of pathogens in populations of flying vertebrates and the determination of their degree of infestation. Not only will known infectious diseases transmissible from bats and birds to humans be investigated, but predictions of future disease occurrence will be formulated in the context of One Health.
