WHAT DOES ZOONOSIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

zoonosis

Zoonosis

Zoonosis /ˌzoʊ.əˈnoʊsɨs/ describes the process whereby an infectious disease is transmitted between species from animals other than humans to humans or from humans to other animals. In direct zoonosis the agent needs only one host for completion of its life cycle, without a significant change during transmission. In a systematic review of 1,415 pathogens known to infect humans, 61% were zoonotic. The emergence of a pathogen into a new host species is called disease invasion or "disease emergence". The emerging interdisciplinary field of conservation medicine, which integrates human and veterinary medicine, and environmental sciences, is largely concerned with zoonoses.

Definition of zoonosis in the English dictionary

The definition of zoonosis in the dictionary is any infection or disease that is transmitted to man from lower vertebrates.
