Description
Katja Radon and colleagues survey how worldviews relate to zoonotic disease knowledge and habits in four Latin American countries, in 2026. The survey covered Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, and Guatemala. It focused on Indigenous peoples and local communities living near rich wildlife. Beliefs about nature may shape contact with animals and risk.
Interviewers visited households and questioned 2,903 people aged ten and older. Analysis grouped respondents into three outlook classes. The largest group, just over half, held a relational outlook with strong spiritual ties to animals. Other groups held more dualistic outlooks. The study then compared knowledge, concern, and practices such as hunting across these groups.
