This is any disease or infection that is transmissible from animals to humans.
Animals thus play an essential role in maintaining zoonotic infections in nature.
Zoonoses may be bacterial, viral, fungi or parasitic.

Bacterial Zoonoses
Every year millions of people get sick because of foodborne zoonoses such as Salmonellosis and Campylobacteriosis which cause fever, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, malaise and nausea.
Other bacterial zoonoses are anthrax, brucellosis, infection by verotoxigenic Escherichia coli, leptospirosis, plague, Q fever, shigellosis and tularaemia.

PARASITIC Zoonoses
Parasitic disease such as Cysticercosis/Taeniasis which infects swine can also affect human causing seizures, headache and many other symptoms. Other parasitic zoonoses are trematodosis, echinococcosis/hydatidosis, toxoplasmosis and trichinellosis.


VIRAL ZOONOSES

Most common of them is Rabies, a disease of carnivores and bats mainly transmissible to humans by bites. Almost all persons infected by rabid animals will die if not treated. An estimated number of 55 000 persons, mainly children, die of this disease in the world every year. Dogs are responsible for most human deaths. Other viral zoonoses are avian influenza, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Ebola and Rift Valley fever

Fungi
Among them is dermatophytoses which are superficial mycoses that may be acquired from infected animals and affect the skin, hair and nails of humans, causing itching, redness, scaling and hair loss. Another mycotic infection that can be zoonotic is sporotrichosis
