How Do Zoonotic Diseases Impact Agriculture and Epidemiology?
Zoonotic diseases are infections that are transmitted from animals to humans. These diseases can spread through direct contact with animals or indirectly through food, water, and the environment. Agriculture is a significant factor in the transmission of zoonotic diseases, such as avian influenza and salmonellosis. Regulations aim to control these diseases through measures like animal health monitoring, vaccination programs, and biosecurity practices.
