Keywords: Human, Bovine, Zoonoses, Public Health,
Abstract :
Zoonotic diseases, which are transmitted from animals to humans, represent one of the most significant public health challenges globally. These diseases encompass a wide range of pathogens, including bacterial, viral, parasitic, fungal, and prion agents. With the growth of the global population, increased human-animal interactions, and climate change, the risk of zoonotic disease outbreaks is rising. This study examines the primary transmission pathways of zoonotic diseases (such as direct contact, aerosols, and contamination of water and food) and their impacts on human and animal health. Preventive and control approaches, including vaccination, biosecurity measures, and the One Health approach, are proposed to mitigate the risks associated with these diseases. The findings of this study underscore the importance of cross-sectoral collaboration in managing zoonotic diseases and highlight their implications for public health and the livestock industry.
