Zoonotic diseases are infections transmissible between animals and humans. In large animal practice they represent a dual concern: they threaten herd health while also posing a direct risk to farmers, veterinarians and the general public.
Well-known examples include brucellosis, rabies, anthrax, leptospirosis and tuberculosis. Transmission occurs through direct contact with infected animals or their products, consumption of unpasteurized dairy, bites, or contaminated environments.
Protecting both animal and human health requires early detection, notification of suspected cases, safe handling of animal products, personal protective equipment, and cooperation between veterinary and public health authorities under the One Health approach.
