Proposed Project 

A Survey of University Field Biology 

Training Programs to Assess Zoonosis 

Education, Animal Handling and 

Personal Protective Equipment 

Training—New—Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC), National 

Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID). 

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.
