Zoonosis is an infectious disease that has passed from animal to man. Zoonotic pathogens can be of bacterial, viral or parasitic origin, or may involve unconventional agents and spread to humans through direct contact or through food, water or the environment. They represent a major public health problem throughout the monad due to our close relationship with animals in different contexts (agriculture, domestic animals and natural environment). Zoonoses can also disrupt the production and trade of animal products for food or other purposes.
