Background and Brief Description
Field Biologists and members of allied
disciplines (Ecology, Conservation
Biology, Wildlife Biology, Mammalogy,
etc.) frequently come in contact with
wild animals, many of which may carry
diseases transmissible to humans
(zoonotic diseases). Examples of these
diseases include Rabies, Hantavirus
Pulmonary Syndrome, Leptospirosis,
Tularemia and many others. The recent
death of a Wildlife Sciences graduate
student from occupationally-acquired
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
highlights the vulnerability of this
population to zoonotic diseases. The
graduate student’s exposure was
thought to be due to inadequate
understanding of the risk of zoonotic
disease and need for proper animal
handling and personal protective
equipment (PPE) use.
Throughout the field biology
community, there are no universally
accepted standards for zoonosis risk
reduction education, safe animal

handling or PPE use. While it may be
difficult to re-train seasoned biologists
who have established habits related to
animal handling and PPE use, new
members of the community (i.e.
undergraduate and graduate students)
may represent an opportunity for timely
intervention. By developing proper
animal handling and PPE use habits
early in their careers, field biologists can
minimize their exposure to potentially
fatal zoonotic illnesses.
The proposed survey asks 85
Department Chairs (or Program
Directors, as surrogates) of university
training programs in field-related
biological sciences about their
programs’ policies regarding zoonotic
disease education, safe animal handling
training, and PPE training and use. The
survey consists of an introductory letter
and a self-administered, Web-based
questionnaire e-mailed to persons at
universities in the United States. The
study objectives are to describe current
knowledge, attitudes and practices of
educational institutions and their
faculty regarding zoonotic disease risks
and protection of undergraduate and
graduate students, and to determine
what types of national guidelines on
zoonotic disease risk reduction in
university training programs are needed.
If these data were not collected, it
would make it more difficult to create
logical and appropriate national
guidelines for zoonotic risk reduction in
university training programs. This data
collection supports the CDC’s broader
research agenda of understanding the
determinants of illness in vulnerable
populations. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.
