    (2009) Lopez, Javier; Abarca, Katia; Cerda, Jaime; Valenzuela, Berta; Lorca, Lilia; Olea, Andrea; Aguilera, Ximena
    Pet diseases may pose risks to human health but are rarely included in surveillance systems. A pilot surveillance system of pet infectious diseases in Santiago, Chile, found that 4 canine and 3 feline diseases accounted for 90.1% and 98.4% of notifications, respectively. Data also suggested association between poverty and pet diseases.
