El salto en la barrera de especies es responsable de gran parte de las enfermedades emergentes y re-emergentes en el mundo; en la actualidad, no están completamente esclarecidos los mecanismos involucrados en la restricción de un agente hacia un(os) hospedero determinado(s) ni en los procesos necesarios para que éste cruce la barrera de especie e invada un nuevo hospedero. Los saltos hacia nuevas especies, generalmente se manifiestan con una alta morbilidad y mortalidad en la especie nueva, acarreando grandes pérdidas económicas y en múltiples ocasiones causando pérdida de vidas humanas. Por su parte, las especies exóticas, presentes tanto en los hogares como en los parques zoológicos, se han convertido en uno de los principales factores de riesgo para la emergencia y re-emergencia de enfermedades en poblaciones animales y humanas, y por tanto se hace necesario que se evalúen las infecciones que puedan tener potencial para realizar el llamado "salto" y acarrear graves consecuencias tanto para poblaciones animales como humanas. Utilizando el Herpesvirus equino-9 como ejemplo, el presente ensayo pretende crear conciencia sobre el riesgo existente de un salto en la barrera de especie y las posibles implicaciones del mismo.
Jumping the species barrier is responsible for a large part of emerging and re-emerging diseases around the world; however, the mechanisms involved in restricting an agent to a given host are currently not fully understood, nor what is necessary to leap the species barrier to invade a new host. These leaps to new species are usually manifest by high rates of morbidity and mortality in the new species, leading to severe economic losses and sometimes causing loss of human life. On the other hand, exotic species both in homes and zoos have become one of the major risk factors for the emergence and re-emergence of disease in human and animal populations and it has thus become necessary to assess infections which may be able to make the so-called "jump" and have serious consequences for human and animal populations. This article seeks to raise awareness regarding the risk of a leap over the species barrier using the equine herpesvirus-9 as an example and its possible implications.
