Zoonoses : are infections which are naturally transmitted between vertebrate animals and people.
The term zoonosis'Derived from the Greek
ZOON (animals) and NOSES (diseases)
People, animals, birds, arthropods and the inanimate environment are all involved in cycles of zoonotic infection

3. Definition
– Infection: pathogenic microorganisms penetrate the
host defenses, enter the tissues, and multiply
– Disease: The pathologic state that results when
something damages or disrupts tissues and organs
– Infectious disease: the disruption of a tissue or organ
caused by microbes or their products
• -Pathogen: a microbe whose relationship with its host is
parasitic and results in infection and disease
• Type and severity of infection depend on -Pathogenicity----
of the organism and the condition of its host.
(pathogenicity:the ability of an infectious agent to cause
disease)

transmitted between vertebrate animals and
people.

10. Reservoirs: Where Pathogens Persist
• Reservoir: the primary habitat in the natural world
from which a pathogen originates
• Source: the individual or object from which an
infection is actually acquired
• Living Reservoirs
– Carrier: an individual who inconspicuously shelters a
pathogen and spreads it to others without any notice.
• Asymptomatic carriers
• Incubation carriers
• Convalescent carriers
• Chronic carrier
• Passive carrier

11. Animals as Reservoirs and Sources
• Vector: a live animal that transmits an infectious
agent from one host to another
– Majority are arthropods
– Larger animals can also be vectors
• Biological vector: actively participates in a
pathogen’s life cycle
• Mechanical vectors: transport the infectious agent
without being infected

18. Agent
Host
Environment
Zoonotic diseases are multifactorial and their occurrence is
affected by interactions between the host, the agent and the
environment
10/9/2023
18
Prof Muhammad Tauseef Jawaid
19. Classification of zoonoses disease according to
the mode of transmission
Transmission of infections may be direct, indirect via arthropod
vectors, or from environmental foci
Direct zoonosis : the disease is directly transmitted from
animals to humans through media such as air (influenza)
or through bites and saliva (rabies).
Cyclozoonosis :a zoonotic disease that requires at least
two species of vertebrates as definitive and intermediate
hosts. Examples: hydatid disease
Metazoonosis:zoonoses require both a vertebrate host
and an invertebrate host; an example is trypanosomiasis.
Saprozoonosis
Combination
(e.g. direct & metazoonosis)

20. SAPROZOONOSIS
Diseases of vertebrate animals which can affect
people, the infectious agents of which are either
capable of replicating in inanimate sites, or
require an inanimate environment for the
development of an infectious stage of their life
cycle
eg. histoplasmosis, Toxocara canis, certain
food-borne diseases

Anthropozoonoses: Zoonoses where the main
reservoir of infection is non-human ,but vertebrate
animals
Most zoonoses are of this type e.g. bovine
tuberculosis, rabies .
Zooanthroponoses: Diseases that mainly affect
people, which may be transmitted to animals,
which then act as temporary reservoirs of infection
Examples are Mycobacterium tuberculosis in
dogs, infectious hepatitis in apes.
Classification of zoonoses according the
reservoir

25. CLASSICAL RABIES(Direct zoonoses)
Virulent rabies spread from Europe to Asia and other
regions by infected dogs; many countries worldwide
Dogs most important domestic hosts, cats, cattle and other
domestic animals commonly involved
Many wild reservoirs which differ between regions;
principally canids (foxes, wolves, jackals) but also
mongooses,,raccoons, bats
Some countries free by eradication e.g. UK
Direct zoonosis – bites, mucosal exposure, other routes
e.g. corneal transplants
