Zoonotic in a sentence

Carnivorous mammals like mink have inherent deficiencies in their immune systems that allow them to carry zoonotic diseases (those that spread between humans and animals) for long periods of time without killing them.

Dr Zaliha Mustafa explained that the Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus that is transmitted from animals to humans and can cause complications such as encephalitis and acute respiratory illness, with a 40 to 70 per cent fatality rate.

Not only is factory farming cruel and unsustainable, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that novel infectious diseases are rooted in zoonotic transmissions, i.e. transmissions from animals to humans.

Not surprisingly, his team decided there was no evidence to support the lab leak theory and it was probably a case of zoonotic transference after all.

Frontiers in Veterinary Science argues that there should be a moratorium on building or expanding poultry and pig farms because of the high risk of zoonotic disease.

Further, he stated, “We consider this to be a potential zoonotic pathogen since there is a virus in bats, right now in a cave that is highly exposed to Bat Virus feces.

Mpox is considered a zoonotic disease, meaning it can be transmitted between animals and humans.

We must change humanity's relationship with nature if we want to prevent the next pandemic of zoonotic origin-and that can start with bats," says Dr. Susan Lieberman, WCS's Vice President for International Policy.

About 58 per cent of infectious diseases in humans are zoonotic - illnesses caused by germs that are passed between animals and people.

Compared to China and Central Africa, South America is relatively uncharted territory for the field of viral ecology, which studies these diseases, known as ‘zoonotic’ for their animal origin.

Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people and are commonly spread from an infected person to others through air by coughing and sneezing, close personal contact as well as touching an infected surface.

Most wet markets do not trade in wild or exotic animals, but those that do have been linked to outbreaks of zoonotic diseases.

The threat of a boycott by British supermarkets derail a Brazilian law that could enable the faster destruction of the Amazon rainforest, a planetary rampart against the rise of future zoonotic diseases.

This includes establishing the origin of the virus, urging the WHO to help investigate “the zoonotic source of the virus and the route of introduction to the human population,” which has been a point of contention.

And these prions, as opposed to what’s in the brain and in the spinal column, look more zoonotic to us, meaning they’re prions that are closer to the kinds that we would expect to be potentially transferred into humans.

The World Bank has given Zambia six million United States Dollars to establish a Zoonotic Research Laboratory at the University of Zambia.

Dr William Amafu, the Chairman of the Veterinary Council, said Ghana needed to institutionalise a zoonotic unit to assess the country's risk and preparedness to emerging infectious diseases.

Imaging devices help veterinarians and technicians in the diagnosis and management of zoonotic diseases.

H.R. Cox and Gordon Davis elucidated the transmission when they isolated it from ticks found in the US state of Montana in 1938. citation It is a zoonotic disease whose most common animal reservoirs are cattle, sheep, and goats.

In the periods between outbreaks, when human to human transmission occurs less often, the flying squirrel serves as a zoonotic reservoir for the Rickettsia prowazekii bacterium.
