Zoonosis In direct zoonosis the disease is directly transmitted from animals to humans through media such as air (influenza) or through bites and saliva (Rabies).In contrast, transmission can also occur via an intermediate species (referred to as a vector), which carry the disease pathogen without getting infected. major factor contributing to the appearance of new zoonotic pathogens in human populations is increased contact between humans and wildlife. This can be caused either by encroachment of human activity into wilderness areas or by movement of wild animals into areas of human activity.

- Zoonotic Diseases Birds Zoonotic diseases Psittacosis (Ornithosis, Chlamydiosis) : Psittacosis is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia psittaci. C. psittaci is common in wild birds and can occur in laboratory bird colonies.Infected birds are highly contagious to other birds and to humans.The organism is spread to humans by aerosolization of respiratory secretions or feces from the infected birds.ampylobacter: Campylobacter species can be found in pet and laboratory animal species. Transmission to humans is by the fecal-oral route and can produce an acute gastrointestinal illness. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting.
