The world is very vulnerable to zoonoses. Zoonotic diseases do not emerge suddenly. Zoonotic pathogens are capable of spreading and infecting humans if their natural bounds are disturbed or damaged.

The world is at high risk of zoonoses, diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. Zoonoses can cause epidemics and other unusual incidences, whenever and wherever they occur. Clear standards are needed on managing a zoonotic outbreak.
