Emerging Infectious Disease (EID)
population at risk
children younger than 5
adult older than 65
immunocompromised

people working in labs
why is there a need to study zoonoses?
to raise awareness of the risk of zoonotic diseases
zoonotic is a public health risk to humans, animals and the environment
infectin transmitted to man from lower vertebrates
arthropozoonoses
infections transmitted from man to lower vertebrates
zooanthropozoonoses
aphixenoses
infections that are maintained in both man and lower vertebrated that may be transmitted in either direction
example of anthropozoonoses
rubella, ringworm, Trichomoniasis
example of zooanthropozoonoses
influenza A virus, Ascaris lumbricoides
