Socioeconomic vulnerability and the management of domestic animal hosts in urban environments: a one health issue
This study highlights the need for basic animal health measures, such as sterilization, improved nutrition, deworming, and controlling street access, to reduce the competence of these animals as hosts of infectious agents, considering the vulnerability of these communities. Therefore, it is necessary to expand public policies focused on the promotion and prevention of comprehensive health, extending these measures to animal health.
