Epidemiological studies of zoonotic infections during the COVID-19 pandemic in Winkler country, Texas/ Marie Audrey D. Ascue, Cecil James M. Buguis, Shanon Andrea G. Samson, Jahne Edna G.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the health measures imposed during the pandemic have led to other serious health issues. Following the One Health concept of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is believed that the lockdown and temporary restrictions have made humans closer to the environment and animals. In Winkler County, Texas, multiple infections were detected during the COVID-19 pandemic and have shown increased human interaction with their house pet. The researchers used a quantitative retrospective study consisting of a medical records review, including the microbiology epidemiological study report and survey questionnaire. A descriptive- analysis research was employed for this study to determine the types of infections, causative agents, types of animals and respondents{92} contact hours with their pets of farm animals before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the findings, the research study provided a valuable information on the zoonotic spillover in Winkler County, Texas. It has provided information about the types of infection, its carrier and causative agent. However, the data does not strongly suggest a correlation between animal exposure and zoonotic infections.
