This chapter discusses current knowledge on Vector-Borne Parasitic Zoonotic Infections (VBPZs) (protozoa and helminths transmitted by arthropod vectors from animals to humans), their epidemiology, and impact on human health. Although VBPZs represent a relatively small number of diseases if compared to...
A subsequent search was conducted to find evidence for zoonotic infections in humans from wildlife. It combined the word “human” with key words relating to the zoonotic pathogens identified in the initial search (e.g. “Bacillus anthracis”) or associated human disease (e.g. “anthrax”) and...
A zoonosis or zoonose is any infectious disease that can be transmitted from non-human animals, both wild and domestic, to humans. Infectious diseases transmitted from humans to non-human animals is sometimes called reverse zoonosis or anthroponosis. Six
New ways of combating disease will and are being set up, such as the new budding theory of cross-reacting immunisation in bacterial infections. The primary weakness with this theory is that as a newfangled concept, its own complications will likely unfold. Pathogens are the causal agents of ...
In this Opinion article, we propose a synthetic framework for animal-to-human transmission that integrates the relevant mechanisms. This framework reveals that all zoonotic pathogens must overcome a hierarchical series of barriers to cause spillover infections in humans. Understanding how these barriers ...

In this article, we highlight interspecies SARS-CoV-2 infections and focus on the reverse zoonotic potential of this virus. We also emphasize the importance of potential secondary zoonotic events and the One-Health and One-World approach to tackle such future pandemics....
The growing interest in keeping animals as pets in Nigeria and other resource-poor countries highlights the possibility of transmission of zoonotic infections to humans. These zoonoses which are usually caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi, are naturally transmitted to humans, causing variou...
ceylanicum infections in endemic areas remains inconclusive and thus needs research attention. Table 1 Epidemiology of zoonotic hookworm infections in humans Full size table In addition to A. ceylanicum, several canine hookworms have also been known to infect humans. Historically, canine hookworms,...
