Abstract
Zoonoses are infections and/or diseases acquired by humans from animals. They are distinct from anthroponoses that only involve humans, even if infected through an arthropod vector. Zoonoses make up a significant proportion of all emerging infections and are caused by a complete range of pathogens, including prions, viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and helminths. The emergence of zoonoses is in part determined by the concept of zoonotic “spillover,” whereby barriers that prevent access of zoonotic agents to humans are breached.
