Abstract
Zoonoses are the common cause of disease occurrence in animals and humans in Bhairahawa. Many zoonotic disease such as Tuberculosis, Rabies, Heartworm, Brucella, Leptospira has been encountered in Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Tribhuvan University from Bhairahawa periphery. We conducted a cross-sectional purposive random survey of total 303 villagers of Siddharthanagar Municipality, Bhairahawa, Rupandehi to study awareness status about zoonosis. Out of total individuals interviewed, 176 (58%) heard about the zoonotic disease and radio/television (37.5%) were the source of information. 66.7% female and 56.9% male knew about zoonosis. 72.9% of youths (30-50 years), 36.6% farmers, 33.33% Dalit and 40.2% Madheshi, 58.6% Hindu, 66.7% Buddhist, 66.7% of Christian knew about zoonosis. 86% of aware people knew about direct transmission rout of zoonotic disease, and 100%, 77.84%, 100%, 100% and 47.72% respondents knew about the contaminated food, milk, meat, bite, and secretion transmission route respectively. Age, education, ethnicity, occupation play highly significant (P<0.05) effect on zoonosis, where religion had significant (P<0.05) effect but sex had no significant relationship. Hence our study suggests that zoonotic disease pose a threat to people but the risk grossly underestimated.

Summary
Of the known pathogen species implicated in human disease, 61% are zoonotic Neglected among this vast importance, but many people are unknown about these diseases which have a high risk of transmission. Since humans share group of pathogens are endemic zoonoses Many their environment with animals, it was decided to study endemic zoonoses cause considerable human the level of awareness among humans regarding some disability and impair livestock productivity, imposing of the zoonotic diseases spread by animals. Developing and under developed countries are being comparatively more affected by these zoonotic diseases due to lack of proper education on zoonoses, awareness, and improper management of farms (Chowdhury et al, 2018).
