- Zoonotic diseases are very common. Examples include Malaria, Dengue Fever and Sleeping Sickness
- They can be transmitted by domestic or wild animals. For example: dogs, bats, foxes, raccoons etc. can all transit rabies
The probability of zoonotic being transmitted to humans increase where:
- There is limited control within urban areas of feral animals
- There is prolonged contact between humans and animals
- Vaccination of pets and domestic livestock is sparse
- The movement of infected wild animals is unrestricted by physical or political barriers
- Hygene and sanitation are poor (Contamination)
