          Protocol for developing a Database of Zoonotic disease Research in India (DoZooRI)

          Introduction Zoonotic and emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) represent a public health threat that has been acknowledged only recently although they have been on the rise for the past several decades. On an average, every year since the Second World War, one pathogen has emerged or re-emerged on a global scale. Low/middle-income countries such as India bear a significant burden of zoonotic and EIDs. We propose that the creation of a database of published, peer-reviewed research will open up avenues for evidence-based policymaking for targeted prevention and control of zoonoses. Methods and analysis A large-scale systematic mapping of the published peer-reviewed research conducted in India will be undertaken. All published research will be included in the database, without any prejudice for quality screening, to broaden the scope of included studies. Structured search strategies will be developed for priority zoonotic diseases (leptospirosis, rabies, anthrax, brucellosis, cysticercosis, salmonellosis, bovine tuberculosis, Japanese encephalitis and rickettsial infections), and multiple databases will be searched for studies conducted in India. The database will be managed and hosted on a cloud-based platform called Rayyan. Individual studies will be tagged based on key preidentified parameters (disease, study design, study type, location, randomisation status and interventions, host involvement and others, as applicable). Ethics and dissemination The database will incorporate already published studies, obviating the need for additional ethical clearances. The database will be made available online, and in collaboration with multisectoral teams, domains of enquiries will be identified and subsequent research questions will be raised. The database will be queried for these and resulting evidence will be analysed and published in peer-reviewed journals.

              Prevención de leptospirosis humana en la comunidad

              La leptospirosis es endémico-epidémica en Cuba; centenares de casos se han informado desde la década de los 80 hasta la actualidad. Se realizó una revisión de las principales acciones de prevención y control de la leptospirosis en la comunidad y su tratamiento. Se efectuó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos MEDLINE, EBSCO y SciELO; se tuvo en cuenta además, la Guía de la Organización Mundial de la Salud para el diagnóstico, vigilancia y control de la leptospirosis humana vigente desde el 2003 y el Programa Nacional de Prevención y Control de la Leptospirosis Humana vigente desde 1997. Se analizan acciones preventivas como: eliminar reservorio de la enfermedad (incluye desratización, saneamiento canino, vacunación animal, detección y tratamiento de animales domésticos portadores y enfermos); evitar la contaminación de medios infectantes (abarca vertimiento sanitario de la excreta animal, drenaje de charcos y terrenos bajos, higienización comunitaria, desinfección del hábitat animal, tratamiento sanitario de piscinas, protección física de fuentes de agua y alimentos); evitar el contagio humano con medios infectantes (implica prohibición sanitaria de ingestión de carnes y leches de animal enfermo o portador, desinfección de frutas y verduras, uso de medios físicos de protección, prohibición sanitaria de inmersión en fluviales contaminadas); quimioprofilaxis y vacunación. Se establecen las principales acciones desarrolladas, tanto por el Ministerio de Salud Pública de Cuba como por la Organización Mundial de la Salud.
