ABSTRACT

The present paper discusses the fundamentals of the sciences of complexity and chaos as tools in the proliferation of vectors and zoonosis. The first part of the article discusses the rationale and history of the sciences of complexity, a different view as to understand and analyze dynamic systems. These concepts explain the dynamics of the origin of life itself and break the paradigms of linearity and reductionism. This is exemplified by using fractal geometry, the law of the small world and time series analysis among other tools to understand the behavior of chaotic systems, which are presented in the form of the spread of zoonotic diseases. We conclude that most infections and the spread of diseases transmitted by animals tend towards being chaotic, and it is mentioned that 75% of emerging diseases are zoonotic in origin. Therefore, the tools are not linear. They are indispensable for understanding the dynamic behavior of the spread of these diseases.
