World Zoonoses Day

Zoonoses is the ailment which is transferred from animals to human beings .    World Zoonoses Day is observed to emphasize and bring the problem awareness amongst people, and teach them to take right action.

We participate on ‘World Zoonoses Day’ along with the rest of the world on 6th July 2008, under the hope to lead a healthier life, in order to educate and create public awareness about the importance of zoonoses.

The term ‘zoonoses’ refers to all disease, mild or dreadful that are transmitted from animal to human beings and vice versa.

Introduction

Animal diseases are of great concern to humans for several reasons. Diseases can reduce the productivity of animals used to produce food, such as hens and dairy cows. Animals that are raised as food, such as pigs and beef cattle that become ill can affect the economic well-being of many industries. Some animal diseases can be transmitted to humans and control of these types of diseases, known as zoonoses.

Zoonotic diseases can be caused by all types of pathogens, viruses, bacteria and parasites and can cause various symptoms such as diarrhea, muscle aches and fever. Sometimes, infected persons experience severe symptoms that can be life threatening. Zoonotic diseases are those diseases that are shared by animals and humans. Approximately 150 zoonotic diseases are known to exist.

Wildlife serves as a reservoir for many diseases common to domestic animals and humans. Persons working with wildlife should be alert to the potential for disease transmission from animals. Neither animal handlers nor the general public have reason to be alarmed or frightened but everyone should respect the potential for disease transmission and use sound preventive measures. Generally, disease can be easily prevented than treated.

This discussion reviews some common zoonotic diseases, including those ailments that are often erroneously cited as being closely linked to wildlife. Many zoonotic diseases are so common in nature, so rare in humans or so mild in their symptoms that wild animals pose a minimal health risk to people. The diseases listed are grouped according to their causative agent or mode of transmission.
