ABOUT ZOONOSES
Zoonoses are defined by the World Health Organisation as 'diseases and infections which are transmitted naturally between vertebrate animals and man'.
The importance of these diseases is well demonstrated by a survey of infectious organisms which showed that, of the 1415 species known to be pathogenic to humans, 61% are zoonotic, while 75% of diseases considered to be 'emerging' are also zoonotic.
