Transmission of Zoonoses from Animals to Humans in Urban-Rural Interface Zones

Author : Kiran Kumari and Dr. Krishna Raj Singh

Abstract

Zoonotic illnesses pose a constant danger to public health across the world because they can be transmitted from animals to people. All across the world, people are in danger from zoonotic illnesses, which may be caused by anything from viruses to bacteria to parasites. One of the most important roles that wildlife plays in the transfer of diseases from one species to another is that of reservoir. All of these things raise the stakes since they facilitate the transfer of infectious diseases from animals to people. A one-health strategy, good communication, and focused treatments are necessary precautions to take in light of the public health consequences of animal zoonosis. We are all aware of the challenges posed by zoonotic infection monitoring in urban and wooded areas, as well as the burden on healthcare systems in developing nations. Despite urbanization's potential to cause zoonotic spillover and the amplification of certain human epidemics, numerous studies and calls for action have stressed the need of monitoring and preventing the emergence of zoonotic diseases along landscape interfaces, especially in tropical forests and agricultural and farming sectors. In habitats where animals are present, zoonotic illnesses can be transmitted by a variety of vectors. Zoonotic agents are animals that can spread illness to humans. Wild animals and plants are those that do not have a place in a zoo or aquarium. Mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles all make up this group of animals.
