[Characterization and temporal evolution of mortality due to zoonoses under mandatory declaration, between the years 1997 and 2018].

Background: Zoonoses are diseases transmitted from an animal host to humans or vice versa. In Chile, the zoonoses of mandatory notification are brucellosis, anthrax, trichinosis, hydatidosis, leptospirosis, dengue, Chagas disease, hantavirosis and rabies.

Aim: To assess the trend and characterize the mortality from zoonoses of mandatory notification in Chile between 1997-2018.

Spatial epidemiology of cystic echinococcosis in livestock from a hyper-endemic region in southern Chile.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a parasitic zoonosis, caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. This disease has a worldwide distribution and is considered an important zoonosis in Chile, especially in regions where raising livestock dominates. We aimed to describe the spatial distribution and risk factors for CE in cattle and sheep slaughtered in the Aysén Region, Chile between 2015 and 2016, to inform disease control in this hyper-endemic region.
