Biotechnology and Epidemiological Surveillance: Integrated Strategies for the Management of Infectious and Zoonotic Diseases
Abstract
This paper analyzes how the integration of biotechnological tools, diagnostic innovations and epidemiological surveillance strategies contribute to the prevention and management of infectious and zoonotic diseases. Based on recent studies published in Revista NOVA (2022), three main axes are explored:
1. Advances in Diagnosis and Conservation of Pathogens: Innovations in antibody detection, genetic stability of strains and use of molecular techniques.
2. Epidemic Modeling and Prevention: Temporal analysis and modeling of COVID-19, as well as intervention strategies based on epidemiological surveillance.
Surveillance in Animal Populations and its Impact on Human Health: Studies on zoonotic diseases such as Lyme and brucellosis, highlighting the importance of animal health monitoring to prevent risks in humans.
The working paper highlights the need for interdisciplinary approaches that combine biotechnology and epidemiology to optimize early detection, treatment and prevention of diseases in diverse contexts.
