Abstract
La convivencia entre mascotas y dueños constituye una práctica común en numerosos hogares, aportando múltiples beneficios tanto a nivel emocional y como a nivel social. Sin embargo, esta interacción estrecha entre humanos y animales también puede implicar ciertos riesgos para la salud. Uno de los principales riesgos es la posible transmisión de enfermedades infecciosas, siendo especialmente relevante en personas inmunocomprometidas. En estos casos, las mascotas pueden actuar como reservorios o vectores de diversos patógenos con potencial de afectar la salud humana.
El creciente número de mascotas en los hogares en los últimos años hace cada vez más necesario estudiar la propagación de enfermedades que pueden transmitirse a los humanos, con el fin de prevenirlas y controlarlas de manera efectiva. Este trabajo parte de datos sobre la incidencia de determinadas enfermedades en mascotas en distintas zonas de la geografía española para desarrollar una aplicación web que permite visualizar su distribución espacio-temporal y detectar posibles puntos críticos. La herramienta también permite visualizar de forma espacio-temporal los datos de temperatura, con el objetivo de analizar cómo influye este factor en el aumento de casos de mascotas infectadas. Asimismo, la incorporación de información sobre la incidencia en humanos permite el estudio de si es posible predecir futuros incrementos de casos en personas a partir de las variables ambientales y la evolución de los contagios en animales. Todo este análisis se integra en una plataforma web interactiva y por capas, diseñada para que investigadores puedan explorar visualmente los datos a nivel nacional, identificar zonas representativas y relacionarlas con factores ambientales. La herramienta está pensada para ser intuitiva y útil como apoyo en futuras investigaciones, además de ser diseñada teniendo en cuenta su escalabilidad para que pueda adaptarse y crecer según vayan evolucionando las necesidades del proyecto y/o se amplíe su ámbito de aplicación.
The coexistence of pets and their owners is a common practice in many households, providing multiple benefits both emotionally and socially. However, this close interaction between humans and animals can also pose certain health risks. One of the main risks is the possible transmission of infectious diseases, which is particularly relevant in immunocompromised individuals. In these cases, pets can act as reservoirs or vectors for various pathogens with the potential to affect human health. The growing number of pets in households in recent years makes it increasingly necessary to study the spread of diseases that can be transmitted to humans, to prevent and control them effectively. This work is based on data on the incidence of certain diseases in pets in different areas of Spain to develop a web application that allows their spatial-temporal distribution to be visualised and possible critical points to be detected. The tool also allows temperature data to be visualised spatially and temporally, with the aim of analysing how this factor influences the increase in cases of infected pets. Likewise, the incorporation of information on the incidence in humans allows for the study of whether it is possible to predict future increases in cases in people based on environmental variables and the evolution of infections in animals. All this analysis is integrated into an interactive, layered web platform designed so that researchers can visually explore the data at the national level, identify representative areas and relate them to environmental factors. The tool is designed to be intuitive and useful as a support for future research, as well as being designed with scalability in mind so that it can be adapted and expanded as the needs of the project evolve and/or its scope of application broadens.
