COVID-19: uma abordagem médico-conservacionista

Palavras-chave: Pandemia, SARS-CoV-2, Medicina da Conservação, Impacto Ambiental, Salto Interespecífico

Resumo

Desde o final de 2019, na China, um novo coronavírus passou a provocar síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SARS) que se espalhou pelo mundo e estabeleceu uma pandemia. O surto já acometeu milhões de pessoas, gerou centenas de milhares de mortes e trouxe prejuízo econômico que pode alcançar trilhões de dólares. Vírus como o agente da COVID-19 passam a infectar o homem por episódios de salto da barreira interespecífica, passando por uma ou mais espécies. Assim, a contaminação inicial depende do contato com a vida selvagem, o que se torna cada vez mais comum com a hiperexploração de espécies, a destruição de habitats e o aumento populacional. O estudo desse fluxo de agentes infecciosos, relacionando a medicina humana à sanidade animal e às questões ambientais é  feito pela Medicina da Conservação. A partir de pesquisa exploratória, analisou-se a COVID-19 através da perspectiva médico-conservacionais e mostrou-se que intervenções na origem dos agentes infecciosos seriam capazes de restringir surtos devastadores de doenças e, consequentemente, reduzir impactos sociais e econômicos.
