Its scope includes animal welfare science, animal cognition, ethology, behavioural ecology, evolution of behaviour, sociobiology, behavioural physiology, population biology, neurophysiology and abnormal behaviour. It was established in 1992 and is published by the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare.
Zoonoses and Public Health is a peer-reviewed medical journal covering zoonoses – infectious diseases transmitted from animals to humans – and their potential public health consequences. It was established in 1963 as Zentralblatt für Veterinärmedizin Reihe B , which was one of the three sections formed by the split of the journal ...
A zoonosis (/ z oʊ ˈ ɒ n ə s ɪ s, ˌ z oʊ ə ˈ n oʊ s ɪ s / ⓘ; [1] plural zoonoses) or zoonotic disease is an infectious disease of humans caused by a pathogen (an infectious agent, such as a bacterium, virus, parasite, or prion) that can jump from a non-human vertebrate to a human. When humans infect non-humans, it is called reverse ...
One Health is at the intersection of human health, animal health, and environmental health. [1]One Health is an approach calling for "the collaborative efforts of multiple disciplines working locally, nationally, and globally, to attain optimal health for people, animals and our environment", as defined by the One Health Initiative Task Force (OHITF).

Wild animals, domestic animals and humans share a large and increasing number of infectious diseases, known as zoonoses. [28] The continued globalization of society, human population growth, and associated landscape change further increase the interactions between humans and other animals, thereby facilitating additional infectious disease ...
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.
Up to 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, originating from viruses and other pathogens that are transmitted from animals to humans. Understanding the mechanisms of transmission, the role of wildlife trade, and the importance of surveillance and early detection is crucial for mitigating the impact of zoonotic diseases on human health.
Zoonosis or zoonotic disease can be defined as an infectious disease that can be transmitted between animals and humans. [16] One Health plays a big role in helping to prevent and control zoonotic diseases. [17] Approximately 75% of new and emerging infectious diseases in humans are defined as zoonotic. [17]
