Revisión sistemática de literatura: Identificación de factores de riesgo de la enfermedad de Newcastle en el ámbito laboral

Resumen

During the exercise of the poultry profession, workers in the field are exposed to a wide range of zoonotic pathogens, around 64.3% of them report having contracted at least one of these diseases during their work performance. There has been evidence of the lack of studies on occupational diseases and the implementation of protocols that allow mitigating their effects, as well as the implementation of biosafety standards that constitute an essential tool in the prevention of risks and diseases in labor. These programs must go hand in hand with a qualified occupational health team with the purpose and main objective of preserving the good health of workers in contact with animals. This article condenses the information related to the casuistry of the Newcastle in poultry workers, highlighting epidemiological aspects, since, to date, the treatments in humans are symptomatic and focused on the respiratory system.
