Abstract：
Animal-assisted interventions (AAI)s represent the expression of integrated medicine, according to the One Health approach. Actually, animal-assisted therapies and animal-assisted activities are implemented in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, etc. The efficacy of AAIs is based on interspecific interactions and would be impacted by different factors, such as the characters of both the animal and the handler, a suitable selection of animal species, an appropriate animal educational protocol, the relationship between the handler and the animal, and mutual relationship among the animal, the patients, and members of the working team. AAIs produce many advantages for the patients but could expose them to zoonotic-pathogens transmission. Therefore, positive animal welfare, as preventative medicine to avoid incidents or transmission of zoonosis, is a relevant aspect with implications for human and animal health and wellbeing. This review aims to summarize the current published knowledge regarding the occurrence of pathogens in AAIs and to discuss their relevance in light of health and safety in AAIs participants. In addition, this review will contribute to defining the state of the art of AAIs through a careful benefits/challenges analysis and offers discussion points on the possible future developments according to the One Health approach.
摘要：
动物辅助干预(AAI)代表了综合医学的表达，根据一个健康的方法。事实上,在医院实施动物辅助疗法和动物辅助活动，康复中心,等。AAI的功效是基于种间相互作用，会受到不同因素的影响，比如动物和处理器的角色，选择合适的动物种类，适当的动物教育协议，处理者和动物之间的关系，动物之间的相互关系，病人,和工作团队的成员。AAI为患者带来许多好处，但可能使他们暴露于人畜共患病原体传播。因此,积极的动物福利，作为避免人畜共患病事件或传播的预防性药物，是对人类和动物健康和福祉有影响的相关方面。这篇综述旨在总结当前已发表的关于AAI中病原体发生的知识，并根据AAI参与者的健康和安全讨论它们的相关性。此外,本综述将有助于通过仔细的益处/挑战分析来定义AAI的最新水平，并根据“一个健康”方法对未来可能的发展进行讨论。
