Health risks and governance in the Mazatlán natural park lighthouse

Zoonotic diseases, Viral transmission, Environmental governance, Infection models, One Health perspectiveAbstract
The Faro de Mazatlán Natural Park (PNFM), an area for tourism and public use in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico, faces a significant challenge: 140 abandoned cats have been counted in the area, posing a high risk of severe zoonotic disease transmission. Although the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which causes COVID-19 disease, has been largely controlled, recent research suggests that domestic cats (Felis catus) may play a role in SARS-CoV transmission, highlighting the importance of addressing the status of these felines in the park to protect both public health and animal welfare. This research is conducted from the transdisciplinary perspective One Health, with the aim of establishing a link between infections that could be transmitted by abandoned cats in the PNFM, including possible SARS-CoV-2 infection. This will be assessed by detection of specific serum antibodies and virus neutralization tests. In addition, the importance of proper governance for the Lighthouse is emphasized, given that it is a recreational space where tourists, athletes and people who enjoy the panoramic views of the port converge. Therefore, surveys were conducted with residents, tourists and authorities responsible for managing the area, in order to contrast their perceptions and attitudes about the problem and its impact on the development of tourism in the area.
