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.
The One Health Platform is a scientific reference network to unite researchers and experts to better understand and prepare for zoonotic disease outbreaks from animals to humans, and antimicrobial resistance, including a better understanding of environmental factors that impact disease dynamics.
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]
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 ...
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.
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.
An infection is the invasion of tissues by pathogens, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agent and the toxins they produce. [1] An infectious disease, also known as a transmissible disease or communicable disease, is an illness resulting from an infection.
