IVSA NPI on World Zoonosis Day conducted a program for an aware student of Milestone Education Academy at Gaidakot. We provided awareness against Rabies, One Health, Animal cruelty, and violence. Thanks to our presenter Achyut Babu Acharya for giving a presentation on Rabies Dibya Ranabhat for a presentation on One Health and Subash Pathak for a presentation on Animal Welfare and Rights.
A zoonosis is an infectious disease that has jumped from a non-human animal to humans. zoonotic pathogens may be bacterial, viral, or parasitic, or may involve unconventional agents and can spread to humans through direct contact or through food, water, or the environment. They represent a major public health problem around the world due to our close relationship with animals in agriculture, as companions, and in the natural environment. Zoonoses can also cause disruptions in the production and trade of animal products for food and other uses.
Zoonoses comprise a large percentage of all newly identified infectious diseases as well as many existing ones. Some diseases, such as HIV, begin as zoonosis but later mutate into human-only strains. Other zoonoses can cause recurring disease outbreaks, such as Ebola virus disease and salmonellosis. Still others, such as the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, have the potential to cause global pandemics.
We would like to thank Institute for providing us a platform to share about zoonosis.
We would like to thank IVSA SCAW and Ceva for supporting this program.
