A number of new virus infections have emerged or re-emerged during the past 15 years. Some viruses are spreading to new areas along with climate and environmental changes. The majority of these infections are transmitted from animals to humans, and thus called zoonoses. Zoonotic viruses are, as compared to human-only viruses, much more difficult to eradicate. Infections by several of these viru...

Microbiologic infections acquired from animals, known as zoonoses, pose a risk to public health. An estimated 60% of emerging human pathogens are zoonotic. Of these pathogens, >71% have wildlife origins. These pathogens can switch hosts by acquiring new genetic combinations that have altered pathogenic potential or by changes in behavior or socioeconomic, environmental, or ecologic characterist...

Zoonoses are infectious diseases of animals that can be transmitted to humans. Human dirofilariosis (caused by Dirofilaria repens and Dirofilaria immitis) are among the helminthic zoonoses most frequently diagnosed in Europe. Indeed, human infections with Dirofilaria parasites are diagnosed with increasing frequency in many European countries and are currently included in the socalled emerging ...

Cats co-occupy one third of all residences in the United States. As common household pets, they serve as sources of joy and companionship for their owners. However, feline ownership also comes with its own inherent risks, as cats can transmit an array of diseases to their owners, ranging from trivial to fatal ailments. By understanding the pathogenesis of cat-associated diseases, owners and the...

Diarrhoeal diseases, almost all of which are caused by food-borne or waterborne microbial pathogens, are leading causes of illness and death in less developed countries, killing an estimated 1.9 million people annually at the global level. Even in developed countries, it is estimated that up to one third of the population are affected by microbiological food-borne diseases each year. The majori...

Introduction At present the occurrence of zoonoses has serious impact on the agriculture and economy of European countries. On, using the example of two zoonoses, trichinellosis and alveolar echinococcosis, we want to show different causes and various means of their spreading and resulting hazard on humans. These helminthozoonoses have been chosen for increasing occurrence of their agents in do...
