Bacterial zoonoses: types, routes of infection and prevention measures

Abstract

Because of the huge variety of existing and daily emerging zoonoses, bacterial infections, along with viral ones, still play a negative role in the occurrence of serious diseases, provoking an increase in mortality of the world’s population. Zoonoses are capable of spreading over vast territories in the shortest possible time, and their outbreaks are spontaneous, which makes such phenomena most dangerous. Man, penetrating into the environment, changing, transforming it for themselves, contributes to the fact that zoonotic infections can obtain not only an epidemic, but also a pandemic character. Unfortunately, it is not always enough to respond to the manifestations of the disease in a timely manner in order to successfully suppress it. The most rational solution would be to prevent zoonoses by taking certain sanitary and epidemiological measures
