Prevalence of zoonotic diseases in the Northeastern region, one health perspective

Zoonotic diseases are long known for their disease transmission from animals to human beings or from human beings to animals. These illnesses are primarily spread by the ingestion of contaminated food and water, by exposure to pathogens, or by direct contact with diseased or sick human beings or animals. Owing to their extensive effects, these diseases have emerged as a significant worldwide issue and a threat to public health. Zoonotic epidemics are more common in developing nations, where the problem is made worse by a lack of knowledge and preventative measures. Numerous research revealed that, of all the infectious diseases identified, humans are more vulnerable to animal-derived infectious diseases, which raises significant health concerns. Zoonotic outbreaks have been caused by a variety of circumstances, including industrialization, urbanization, trade, tourism, agricultural practices, anthropogenic influences, and societal issues. This study currently looks into the causes of zoonotic illnesses, how they spread, how they affect the health of human beings, and what can be done to avoid and manage zoonosis in the Northeastern region of India.
