Abstract
Las zoonosis emergentes y reemergentes siguen teniendo una enorme importancia en la sanidad, no solo por el impacto que causan en la salud humana, sino por el gasto económico que conlleva su control y erradicación. La rabia es una enfermedad zoonótica infecciosa perteneciente al género Lyssavirus que afecta a todos los mamíferos a nivel mundial. El principal objetivo es comprender cómo esta antigua enfermedad, que se había considerado erradicada y olvidada, sigue propagándose en numerosos países pese a existir conocidos métodos de prevención y tratamientos tras la exposición. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo una introducción al tema de las zoonosis, detallando en qué consiste la enfermedad de la rabia y explorando su historia. Los modelos matemáticos basados en epidemiología proporcionan una herramienta crucial para comprender los factores que contribuyen a la propagación de esta enfermedad y explorar las diversas medidas de prevención que se pueden aplicar.
The importance of emerging and re-emerging zoonoses in health remains significant, not only because of the impact they have on human health, but also because of the economic costs associated with their control and eradication. Rabies is an infectious zoonotic disease that belongs to the Lyssavirus genus and affects all mammals. The main objective is to understand how this ancient disease, which had been considered eradicated and forgotten, continues to spread in many countries despite known methods of prevention and treatment after exposure. For this purpose, an introduction to the topic of zoonoses has been carried out, outlining the background of the rabies disease. Mathematical models based on epidemiology provide a crucial tool to understand the factors that contribute to the spread of this disease as well as exploring various prevention measures that can be implemented.
