zoonosis

Zoonosis refers to diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. These illnesses can spread through various ways, such as direct contact with animals, contact with their bodily fluids, or through vectors like ticks and mosquitoes. Some common examples include rabies, which is transmitted through bites from infected animals, and influenza, which can originate in birds or pigs and infect humans. Zoonoses highlight the interconnectedness of human and animal health, and controlling them involves monitoring animal populations, practicing good hygiene, and managing wildlife interactions to prevent outbreaks.
