Abstract(s)
Na atualidade, instituições como jardins zoológicos, aquários, parques e reservas de
vida selvagem desempenham um papel fundamental na sobrevivência de espécies
ameaçadas e na educação ambiental pelo respeito da Natureza e da biodiversidade.
A mitigação do risco da movimentação de animais entre estas instituições é realizada
com o objetivo de reduzir as probabilidades de introdução de agentes patogénicos nas
coleções zoológicas recetoras. São múltiplas as medidas implementadas para mitigar este
risco desde procedimentos pré-transporte na origem até à quarentena dos animais no
destino.
Neste estudo foi avaliado o protocolo de quarentena multiespécie da instituição
zoológica Mundo Aquático - Parques Oceanográficos de Entretenimento Educativo S.A.,
- Zoomarine Algarve.
A avaliação feita aos procedimentos de quarentena do Zoomarine é bastante positiva.
Verificou-se cumprimento da legislação em vigor, e nalgumas situações, investimento e
implementação de estratégias complementares, com o objetivo de promover a saúde e o bemestar
dos animais que integram a coleção zoológica e salvaguardar a Saúde Pública dos
trabalhadores e dos visitantes do parque. Foram identificadas catorze situações que devem
ser melhoradas e criados modelos de documentos específicos para registo de dados.
O presente trabalho reforça a importância do Médico Veterinário em parques
oceanográficos de entretenimento educativo e a relevância da partilha permanente de
informação baseada em ciência entre instituições zoológicas, peritos e médicos veterinários.
ABSTRACT - Assessment of a quarantine protocol for an Educational Entertainment Oceanographic Park - Institutions such as zoos, aquariums, parks and wildlife reserves currently play a fundamental role in the survival of endangered species and in environmental education with respect for Nature and biodiversity. The mitigation of the risk of movement of animals between these institutions is done with the aim of reducing the probabilities of introducing pathogens into the receiving zoological collections. There are multiple measures implemented to mitigate this risk, from pre-transport procedures at the source to the quarantine of the animals at the destination. In this study, a multispecies quarantine protocol was designed for Zoomarine Algarve, an Educational Entertainment Oceanographic Park. The assessment of Zoomarine's quarantine procedures was very positive. Compliance with the legislation in force was verified, and in some situations, investment and implementation of complementary strategies, with the aim of promoting the health and animal welfare of the zoological collection and safeguarding the Public Health of workers and visitors of the park. Fourteen situations were identified that should be improved and specific document templates were created for data recording. This work reinforces the importance of veterinarians in educational entertainment oceanographic parks and the relevance of the permanent sharing of science-based information between zoological institutions, experts and veterinarians.
