Examples include rabies, anthrax, tularemia, and West Nile fever. Thus, much of human exposure to infectious disease has been zoonotic. [78] Possibilities for zoonotic disease transmissions. Many diseases, even epidemic ones, have zoonotic origin and measles, smallpox, influenza, HIV, and diphtheria are particular examples.
For example, a human infected with malaria is bitten by a mosquito that is subsequently infected as well. This is a case of reverse zoonosis (human to animal). However, the newly infected mosquito then infects another human.
Cases of tularemia, also known as “rabbit fever," are on the rise in the U.S., according to a new report from the CDC. The report identifies symptoms and the groups most at risk.

The fruit bat is believed to be the zoonotic agent responsible for the spillover of the Ebola virus. Spillover is a common event; in fact, more than two-thirds of human viruses are zoonotic . [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Most spillover events result in self-limited cases with no further human-to-human transmission, as occurs, for example, with rabies, anthrax ...
Cross-species transmission is the most significant cause of disease emergence in humans and other species. [citation needed] Wildlife zoonotic diseases of microbial origin are also the most common group of human emerging diseases, and CST between wildlife and livestock has appreciable economic impacts in agriculture by reducing livestock productivity and imposing export restrictions. [2]
A number of animals, wild or domesticated, carry infectious diseases and approximately 75% of wildlife diseases are vector-borne viral zoonotic diseases. [13] Zoonotic diseases are complex infections residing in animals and can be transmitted to humans. The emergence of zoonotic diseases usually occurs in three stages. Initially the disease is ...
A 2022 statement from the World Health Organization (WHO), defines the term this way: “Disease X is [used] to indicate an unknown pathogen that could cause a serious international epidemic.”
