Keywords
Diseases, Pathogens, Transmitted, Threats, Zoonotic
Abstract
This study is to investigate zoonotic diseases related to the interaction between humans and wildlife, with a focus especially on shared pathogens and emerging health hazards. This study investigates not only diseases that are transmitted directly, such as Rabies, Ebola Virus Disease, Leptospirosis, and Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, but also diseases that are transmitted by mosquitoes, such as Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Western Equine Encephalitis, Japanese Encephalitis, Tick-borne Encephalitis, Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever, and Kyasanur Forest Disease, as well as diseases that are transmitted by birds, such as Parrot Fever and Avian influenza. A study is carried out on each disease, taking into consideration its historical background, transmission dynamics, vectors, vertebrate hosts, and outbreaks that are related to it. The research highlights the linked interaction that exists between humans, animals, and the environment.
