People who have frequent contact with animals due to occupations and other reasons should always pay attention to personal hygiene protection. When the skin of the body is damaged, they must be more careful to prevent infection of viruses or germs from livestock and poultry. The living area of people in animal farms should be kept away from animals. Breeding area; those who keep pets should learn some knowledge about diseases that people and animals co-exist, know that pets should be regularly vaccinated against certain diseases, and know how to hug, kiss, eat at the same table, and sleep in bed with pets. Intimate behaviors are unhygienic and harmful; food should be hygienic, such as the use of tested milk, meat, and eggs, and promote cooked food. Eat raw eggs, eat raw fish, drink

According to the information provided by the Shanghai Agricultural Committee, the Shanghai Veterinary Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Shanghai Center for Animal Disease Control and Prevention have successfully established pet (canine, cat) rabies, tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, erythrozoonosis, and leptospirosis. Five practical zoonotic diseases and rapid detection techniques for Treponema pallidosis, and a rapid diagnostic kit for Toxoplasma gondii.

According to reports, the Shanghai Veterinary Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Shanghai Center for Animal Disease Prevention and Control jointly undertook the epidemiological investigation of zoonotic diseases and major disease detection technologies for pets (cats and dogs) in the key scientific and technological development projects in Shanghai. Research topics, research on practical and rapid detection methods for major zoonotic diseases, conduct epidemiological investigations, and ensure public health safety.

It is understood that, in terms of rabies, in order to evaluate the immune protection efficacy of the vaccine, the research team of the research group has innovative thinking and for the first time in the world has adopted a new method to establish a method for detecting neutralizing antibody levels in animal serum samples. This method is easy to operate and suitable for the detection of a large number of serum samples, and provides a reliable detection tool for the monitoring of rabies virus neutralizing antibodies.

In the field of toxoplasmosis, the research group has established a new set of detection technology, which can greatly improve the sensitivity and distinguish between toxoplasma and neospora. A rapid diagnostic reagent for toxoplasmosis is also prepared, which has the advantages of strong specificity, high sensitivity, good repeatability, fast and easy, and no need for equipment. Advantage.

In terms of tuberculosis, the research team established a real-time quantitative PCR detection technique for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in dogs and cats with good sensitivity and specificity. This method significantly shortens the diagnosis of tuberculosis, and will provide a convenient means for the general survey of TB in dogs and cats.
