What is Zoonotic disease?

Any of a range of diseases that may be transferred to humans by nonhuman vertebrate animals such as mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish is referred to as a zoonotic disease. A huge number of domestic and wild animals are zoonotic disease sources, and there are different modes of transmission. Public health veterinarians play an important role in zoonotic disease monitoring, prevention, and control, but risk reduction in humans and other animal species increasingly necessitates interdisciplinary teams and a unified understanding of medicine.
