1. Overview of Zoonoses Flashcards
Originally, zoonoses were regarded as _____ _____
animal diseases
who wrote Handbuch der Speciellen Pathologie und Therapie (“Handbook of Special Pathology and Therapeutics”) on 1855
Rudolf Virchow
what chapter of the book was mentioned?
“Infectionen durch contagiöse Thiergifte” (“Infections Caused by Animal Contagious Poisons”) with the subtitle “Zoonosen” (“Zoonoses”)
Based on mode of transmission (4):
[DCMS]
1) Direct Zoonoses
2) Cyclozoonoses
3) Metazoonoses
4) Saprozoonoses
Based on aetiology (5):
[VB PFP]
1) Virus
2) Bacteria
3) Parasites
4) Fungi
5) Prions
Based on direction of the transmission (3):
[ZAA]
1) Zooantroponoses
2) Antropozoonoses
3) Amphixenoses
Transmitted :
from –> “infected vertebrate”
to –> “susceptible vertebrate”
by –> direct or indirect contact (mechanical vectors)
Examples:
1. Rabies
2. Anthrax
3. Tuberculosis
4. Avian
5. Nipah
6. Orf
Direct zoonoses / Orthozoonoses
Examples:
1. Rabies
2. Anthrax
3. Tuberculosis
4. Avian
5. Nipah
6. Orf
Require atleast “two” different vertebrate hosts to complete the transmission cycle of an infectious agent.
Cyclozoonoses
Cyclozoonoses where humans are “obligatory host” for completion of life cycle
Obligatory cyclozoonoses (Euzoonoses)
Cyclozoonoses where humans are “accidentally involved” in completion of life cycle
ex. Cystic echinococcosis
Non-Obligatory cyclozoonoses
Require both vertebrates and invertebrates for the completion of their infectious cycle
Examples:
1. Paragonomiasis
2. Plague,
3. Yellow fever
Metazoonoses / Pherozoonoses
Examples:
1. Paragonomiasis
2. Plague,
3. Yellow fever
Require BOTH
1) vertebrate host and an
2) inanimate developmental site or reservoir.
The developmental reservoir is considered non-animal, such as organic matter, including:
- food
- soil
- plants
Examples:
1. Cutaneous larva migrans (Ancylostomiasis)
2. Fascioliasis
Saprozoonoses
Examples:
1. Cutaneous larva migrans (Ancylostomiasis)
2. Fascioliasis
Hosts are LOWER vertebrate animals
Anthropozoonoses
Hosts are HUMAN beings
Zooanthroponoses
Hosts are BOTH lower vertebrate animals and humans.
Amphixenoses
the infectious agents’ cycle is restricted to DOMESTIC animals
Synanthropic
usually accompanied by a sylvatic (feral and wild) cycle in natural foci outside human habitats
Exoanthropic
____% of existing human infectious diseases are zoonotic
60%
At least ___% of emerging infectious diseases of humans have an animal origin
70%
__% of agents with potential bioterrorist use are zoonotic pathogens
80%
- Zoonotic diseases are _______ and their occurrence is affected by interactions between the host, the agent and the environment
multifactorial
those that newly appear in a population or have existed previously but are now rapidly increasing in incidence or geographical range
give examples
Emerging Zoonotic Diseases
1) HIV and AIDS
2) highly pathogenic avian influenza (bird flu)
3) bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease)
Often triggered by events such as climate changes, flooding and other climate events, and famines.
Their overall health burden is much less than that of endemic zoonoses but because they cause ‘shocks’ to food production and other systems, they can reduce the resilience of the affected communities.
Give examples
Epidemic zoonoses
1) Anthrax
2) Rabies
3) Rift Valley fever
4) Leishmaniasis
Continually present to a greater or lesser degree in certain
populations, but are often marginalized by health systems at national and international levels.
Neglected Zoonotic Diseases
1) Brucellosis
2) Cysticercosis (pig tapeworm)
3) Echinococcosis (hydatid disease)
4) Japanese encephalitis
5) Leishmaniasis
6) Leptospirosis
7) Q fever
8) Rabies
9) Foodborne trematodiases
10) Trypanosomiasis
11) Cattle tuberculosis
Zoonoses management requires an integrated and intersectoral approach.
At the global level, three organizations have mandates that cover zoonotic disease:
1) the World Health Organisation (WHO)
2) the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH)
3) the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
this organization:
Each country has their own OIE Delegate and focal person
OIE delegates –> makes the “List of Notifiable Diseases of Zoonotic Importance”
WOAH
World Animal Health Information System
