| description |
Zoonoses such as brucellosis and leptospirosis are diseases naturally transmitted and shared between vertebrate animals and humans, with worldwide distribution. Similarly, there is currently no clear pathway for the comprehensive management of leptospirosis and brucellosis in dogs. The general objective of this study was to describe the public health impact of brucellosis and leptospirosis. A systematic literature review was conducted, selecting original scientific articles published in peer-reviewed journals from 2018 to 2023. The databases consulted included Scielo, PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Virtual Health Library (BVS). Additionally, information was gathered from governmental and non-governmental institutions involved in the surveillance of brucellosis and leptospirosis. For leptospirosis, rodents are the main reservoir, with untreated water being the most likely source of contamination. For brucellosis, stray dogs represent a risk factor, as they function as reservoirs and sources of infection. The incubation period of both diseases is highly variable, ranging from days to several months. In both cases, animals may remain asymptomatic carriers and, even under treatment, can excrete the pathogen into the environment. The public health impact of brucellosis and leptospirosis and the role of dogs in both diseases were described. |

Las zoonosis como la brucelosis y leptospirosis son enfermedades que se transmiten y comparten de forma natural entre animales vertebrados y seres humanos siendo de distribución mundial. De igual manera, actualmente no existe una ruta clara para el abordaje integral de la leptospirosis y brucelosis en el perro. El objetivo general de este trabajo fue describir el impacto en salud pública de Brucelosis y Leptospirosis. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de literatura, donde se van a seleccionar artículos científicos originales publicados en revistas científicas con un rango de búsqueda de 2018 a 2023. Se consultaron las bases de datos: Scielo, PubMed, Google Scholar y la Biblioteca Virtual en Salud (BVS). Adicionalmente se realizó la búsqueda de información de instituciones gubernamentales y organizaciones no gubernamentales involucradas en la vigilancia de brucelosis y leptospirosis. Para Leptospira, los roedores son el principal reservorio, y un posible factor de riesgo es el consumo de agua no tratada. Para Brucelosis, los perros que deambulan por la calle representan un factor de riesgo, además de ser reservorios y fuente de contaminación. El período de incubación de ambas patologías es muy variable, de días hasta varios meses. En ambos casos los animales pueden ser portadores asintomáticos, y aun estando en tratamiento, excretar el agente al medio ambiente. Se describió el impacto en salud pública de brucelosis y leptospirosis y el papel que desempeña el perro en ambas enfermedades.
