Zoonoses

Zoonoses  Click for RSS

A zoonosis is a disease of animals that can be transmitted to humans. Some of the diseases with their own sections on TropIKA.net are zoonoses – for example human African trypanosomiasis and fascioliasis. In our Neglected zoonoses section we aim to cover a range of other zoonotic conditions that also fail to receive sufficient attention worldwide. They include: anthrax, bovine tuberculosis, brucellosis, cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis (NCC), cystic echinococcosis (hydatid disease) and rabies.
