跨界人畜共患疾病，其中一些是媒介传播的，可以保持动态焦点，病原体在围绕多个地缘政治边界的地理区域传播。全球变化正在加剧跨界问题，包括人畜共患疾病风险和发病率的空间差异。在河流划定国际边界并包含生态区之间过渡的地区，这些挑战的复杂性可能会更大。里约热内卢Grande是美国德克萨斯州与墨西哥奇瓦瓦州、科阿韦拉州、新墨西哥州León和塔毛利帕斯州之间的天然边界。不仅有数百万人生活在这个跨界地区，而且每天都有大量的货物和人员经过这里。此外，它发生在一个作为动物迁徙走廊的区域，从而将新向性和新北极生物地理带联系起来，后者是已知的人畜共患疾病的疫源地。然而，重要的人畜共患疾病的致病景观在南德克萨斯-墨西哥跨界地区仍有待充分了解。本文从疾病系统、生态系统过程、土地利用和人类行为之间相互作用的国际视角，分析了委内瑞拉马脑炎、汉坦病毒病、莱姆病、钩端螺旋体病、巴尔通体病、恰加斯病、人类巴贝斯虫病和利什曼病的景观和空间特征。采用具有区域视角的“同一个健康”方法的监测系统将有助于确定减轻这些疾病对人类和动物种群的健康负担的机会。有人建议，沿里约热内卢格兰德地区的墨西哥-美国边境被视为一个连续的景观，在那里人畜共患病原体传播不分国界。
Transboundary zoonotic diseases, several of which are vector borne, can maintain a dynamic focus and have pathogens circulating in geographic regions encircling multiple geopolitical boundaries. Global change is intensifying transboundary problems, including the spatial variation of the risk and incidence of zoonotic diseases. The complexity of these challenges can be greater in areas where rivers delineate international boundaries and encompass transitions between ecozones. The Rio Grande serves as a natural border between the US State of Texas and the Mexican States of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas. Not only do millions of people live in this transboundary region, but also a substantial amount of goods and people pass through it everyday. Moreover, it occurs over a region that functions as a corridor for animal migrations, and thus links the Neotropic and Nearctic biogeographic zones, with the latter being a known foci of zoonotic diseases. However, the pathogenic landscape of important zoonotic diseases in the south Texas–Mexico transboundary region remains to be fully understood. An international perspective on the interplay between disease systems, ecosystem processes, land use, and human behaviors is applied here to analyze landscape and spatial features of Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Hantavirus disease, Lyme Borreliosis, Leptospirosis, Bartonellosis, Chagas disease, human Babesiosis, and Leishmaniasis. Surveillance systems following the One Health approach with a regional perspective will help identifying opportunities to mitigate the health burden of those diseases on human and animal populations. It is proposed that the Mexico–US border along the Rio Grande region be viewed as a continuum landscape where zoonotic pathogens circulate regardless of national borders.
