Abstract

Zoonoses are the infectious diseases that are linked with human and animals. During the last few decades, human-animal linkages and close associations have been increased the zoonotic diseases threats upto several times. The increasing demand and love for animal based edible proteins have resulted higher rate of human-animal interaction. Greater the interaction rate, higher the zoonotic disease threat. Moreover, the human, animal and environmental factors have increased the threat of vector-borne and food–borne illnesses globally. In the present study, we have focused on vector-borne and food-borne diseases that are transmissible between human and animal species. We have highlighted a few opportunities through which we can reduce the chances of emerging zoonotic disease illnesses in developing countries such as Pakistan.
