World Zoonoses Day, observed on July 6th, aims to raise awareness of zoonotic diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans. Some key zoonotic diseases described in the document include rabies, Japanese encephalitis, brucellosis, anthrax, tuberculosis, plague, leptospirosis, Q fever, toxoplasmosis, and leishmaniasis. These diseases are transmitted through bites from infected animals, mosquitoes, contact with infected bodily fluids or meat, or exposure to parasites. Zoonotic diseases cause over a billion cases of human illness and millions of deaths worldwide each year, resulting in direct economic losses of $2 billion and indirect losses of over $20 billion
