Zoonotic Diseases
Zoonotic diseases are illnesses that are spread between animals and humans. They are caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites that can be passed from animals to people, or from people to animals. Zoonotic diseases are a major public health challenge due to their potential to cause large-scale outbreaks, as well as severe individual illnesses. Examples of zoonotic diseases include Lyme disease, West Nile virus, rabies, salmonellosis, and avian flu. It is important to recognize zoonotic diseases and take necessary precautions to prevent their spread, as they can have serious consequences on both animal and human health.
