Zoonoses were further characterized as anthropozoonoses, when transmitted from animals to humans, and zooanthroponoses when transmitted vice versa. All these sub-terms were subsequently abandoned by WHO [World Health Organization] expert committees. Our anthropocentric view of nature means that in general the term "zoonoses" refers to disease transmissible to humans, while the inverse remain a subject localized to the interest of environmental specialists. 3, record 1, English, - zoonosis
