Subject field(s)
  • Animal Diseases
  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Epidemiology
DEF

An infectious disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans either directly, indirectly or by a vector.

CONT

The main zoonoses are of bacterial, viral or parasitic origin. Examples of indirect transmission of a disease from animals to humans include water and food. Examples of vectors include mosquitos and ticks.

OBS

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.

OBS

zoonosis; anthropozoonosis: The plural forms are "zoonoses" and "anthropozoonoses."

OBS

zoonosis; zoonotic disease: designations standardized by the Canadian Capability-Based Planning Terminology Committee and the Translation Bureau.
