A) Zoonotic disease diversity in animal and environment Introduction

Introduction:

Zoonotic disease (Zoonoses) is an infectious disease that is naturally transmitted between species from animals to humans (or from humans to animals) which normally caused by Viruses, bacteria, parasite, and fungi. There are three classes as follows: a) endemic zoonoses which are present in many places and affect many people and animals; b) epidemic zoonoses which are sporadic in temporal and spatial distribution; and c) emerging and re-emerging zoonoses which are newly appearing in a population or have existed previously but are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographical range. Zoonoses may appear suddenly and be relatively virulent.
