Línea base: Se ha detectado positividad en felinos domésticos (Shi y col. 2020, Science eabb7015) y en zoológicos, sugiriendo exposición de las especies nativas, especialmente al incursionar en sectores urbanos, donde la exposición al virus es mayor. Ademas, se ha reportado enfermedad respiratoria causada por SARS-CoV-2 en granjas de visones en Europa, con la consiguiente diseminación del virus a los humanos (Oude Munnink y Col. 2020, Science abe5901). Por otra parte, en murciélagos y roedores se describe infección por distintos virus (Luis y col. 2013 Proc. Biol. Sci. 280: 20122753). Algunas especies tienen un hábitat estrechamente relacionado a las viviendas, lo que facilita que exista spill-over (“derrame” de patógenos) hacia la población humana; en este caso, dado que son las personas quienes portan el virus en Chile, podría ocurrir spill-back (retorno de los patógenos a los animales o zoonosis reversa) (Daszak y col. 2000, Science 287: 443-449). Las consecuencias en animales silvestres aún no se han investigado en profundidad; podrían ser nefastas si provoca cuadros clínicos debilitantes o mortalidad. En especies consideradas plaga, su infección constituiría un riesgo inminente de diseminación a la población. Con la información a obtener, se podrán establecer protocolos de manejo, difusión y prevención comunitaria para proteger a la biodiversidad y a la población chilena.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

Notably, a similar epidemiological pattern was reported with other emerging infections and zoonosis. Further observations have however highlighted substantial differences between countries. By this project, we want to decipher social, epidemiological and biological causes of differences in COVID-19 mortality rates across countries and age groups, convinced that findings may be relevant also for future emerging infection and other zoonosis. To this aim, we will first embark in an epidemiological analysis to understand sociodemographic factors associated with higher mortality rates. In parallel, we will characterize potential defects in mounting SARS-CoV-2 specific adaptive cellular responses in most-at-risk population (elderly and frail subjects). These two activities will provide important clues to plan preventive strategies. Indeed, preliminary results suggest that molecules able to normalize lipid metabolism (which is altered in subjects susceptible to COVID-19) may restore T-cell functionality in the elderly. These molecules will be assessed, in vitro, for their capacity boost CD8+ T cell priming against SARS-CoV-2 in elderly and frail individuals. It is important to note that the effectiveness of preventive measures is strictly related to their compliance and, to this aim, proper communication measures are requested. These will be the focus of our IV activity. Elderly and frail subjects constitute a population which should be proactively targeted in preventive strategies against second waves of COVID-19 but also against outbreaks of future/new emerging infections and zoonosis.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

In this exceptional context, WHO recommends quarantine and social distance for reduce spreading, diseases and deaths among the population.1 One of the main effects of these measures is the interruption of classes at schools, colleges and universities, with students at home.1 The impossibility of presential classes interrupted the educational and communication processes, that are very important in this situation of uncertainty, lack of information and fake news.2 For that reason, technology and virtual education are essentials for adaptive learning and also a new way to access from everywhere through mobile devices.3 Nevertheless, it could imply improvisation with a lot of trial and error, increasing inequality between students that could afford a better education and those who not.4 On the other hand, implications beyond the healthcare domain - which have placed global sustainable development under threat - highlight the need for the One Health transdisciplinary approach5,6 to tackle the situation7. However, the integration of different disciplines is still a challenge for global health.6 Therefore, capacity building among students in this direction should be promoted.8 Within this scenario, this pilot course on Modern Design & Interactive Teaching Methods, MoDITeM is designed under the train-the-trainers concept to provide educators in the field of health and other disciplines a methodological framework and didactic teaching methods to develop their own virtual teaching. Teaching methods will promote inter-professional and transdisciplinary learning. Thus, we will contribute to cope not only with challenges in this abrupt change to virtual education for the isolated student population in Covid's quarantine, but also to promote the search for comprehensive solutions to local problems in the future. The pilot project will be implemented in partner universities in three Latin American countries and one African country, strengthening the South-South collaboration network. Also, it will permit to reach people far away from main cities, improving the socialization of knowledge and equal opportunities for the population. It will allow to improve skills in teaching methods, research communication and sharing knowledge with peers in an LA and African settings, spreading the OH approach and its sustainability.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

In 2020, the global community is affected by Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) limiting people’s ability to travel and meet face to face due to the pandemic problem. Learning from different countries and about various aspects of COVID-19 is even more important and relevant. Countries, professionals and researchers will be able to learn from each other and to contribute in the effort of combating the problem of COVID-19 by establishing better linkages with researchers and professionals from different countries and experts from different fields. The Center for International Health of Ludwig Maximilians University has a wide network of institutions and individuals throughout the continents and with different expertise and skill sets. This network and strength of individuals and institutions can be enhanced for a global effort of combating the pandemic by exchanging knowledge, skills and ideas. We propose a simple approach of facilitating the network and knowledge sharing by utilizing the CIH’s 2020 Call for Proposals on One Health Funds. Through this project, “OH-Knowledge Cafe”, we will bring together the expertise and network of researchers and professionals from various disciplines, countries and expertise to enable cross learning, sharing and network building. The project will ensure that funding and contribution from the CIHLMU /DAAD/BMZ and network partners will be duly acknowledged in all events and products developed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
