The Infectious diseases expert, Dr Chandra Mohan, says to our journals that while there is a lot of focus on swine flu and HIV, little consideration has been given to the known and potential zoonotic infectious diseases of small companion animals.domestic animals share their well being with humans may wide spectrum of zoonotic infections.they may spread it via salivas. last one year alone a new array of diseases has hit the world and almost 75 per cent of these were zoonotic in nature.
Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University vice-chancellor, Dr Prabhakaran, says, “The huge captive livestock is responsible for 50 per cent of global methane emissions leading to climatic change, which in turn, though indirectly, impacts human health.”year after year this was being added up and we see hundreds of thousands of human deaths related to zoonoses diseases, which are transmitted from animals to humans, but experts say there is still limited information about how zoonoses are spread or just how to predict the next outbreak.
Pandemic threats like SARS, H5N1 or H1N1 we shudder simply because we do not know how to tackle them, he pointed out.the new arrival of vaccines in market to configure the propblem is in high process whereas the threat level is high the doctors carrying their potentiality level more to control the risk of spreadings more than that the awareness and self disciplinary in case of protectiveness is an precautionary method to be followed by public.
