•The word 'Zoonosis' (Pleural: Zoonoses) was
introduced by Rudolf Virchow in 1880 to include
collectively the diseases shared in nature by man and
animals.
• Later WHO in 1959 defined that Zoonoses are "those
diseases and infections which are naturally transmitted
between vertebrate animals and man".
(http://www.who.int/topics/zoonoses/en/)
• Zoonoses include only those infections where there is
either a proof or a strong circumstantial evidence for
transmission between animals and man.
• Zoonotic Diseases (also known as zoonoses) are
caused by infections that are shared between animals
and people. (https://www.cdc.gov/onehealth/basics/zoonotic-diseases.html)
Change of Idea in Zoonosis
FACTORS INFLUENCING PREVALENCE
OF ZOONOSES
• Ecological changes in man's environment
• Handling animal by-products and wastes
(occupational hazards)
• Increased movements of man
• Increased trade in animal products
• Increased density of animal population
• Transportation of virus infected mosquitoes
• Cultural anthropological norms
Who are at Risk?
I. Farmers, livestock and animal processing workers
II. Outdoor recreational activities or vocational activities
in wild or underdeveloped regions
III. Persons in contact with pets, other animals in urban
areas
IV. Health care and laboratory personnel (human and
veterinary)
V. Fishers and others working in aquatic envirnment
VI. Immunocompromised hosts;
Public, anyone, any place
Classification
*Etiological
- Bacterial
- Viral
- Rickettsial
- Fungal
- Parasitic
- Ectoparasites
*Mode of
transmission
- Direct zoonoses
- Cyclozoonoses
- Metazoonoses
- Saprozoonoses
*Reservoir host
- Anthropozoonoses
- Zooanthroponoses
- Amphixenoses
• When an insect vector is involved, the disease
is also known as an arboviral disease.
• However, not all arboviral diseases are
zoonosis: where the transmission cycle takes
place exclusively between insect vector and
human e.g. dengue and yellow fever.

Laboratory Diagnosis & Prevention
Disease Laboratory Diagnosis Prevention
Rabies 1. Specimen :
 Human –
 Antemortem : corneal
smear, skin biopsy
(face/neck), saliva, hair
follicles, blood,
cerebrospinal fluid
 Postmortem : brain
(hippocampus,
cerebellum)or spinal cord
 suspected rabid animals –
 Postmortem : brain and
salivary glands
 Antemortem : saliva and
corneal smears
1. Prophylaxis :
 Pre-exposure –
 Pre-exposure
immunization should be
three full
IM dose of vaccine given
on day 0, 7 and 28 or 0, 28
and 56 followed by
booster at one year and
then a booster every three
years.
 Laboratory staff and
others at high continuing
risk of exposure should
have their neutralizing
antibody titres checked
every 6 months. If it is less
than 0.5 i.u./ml a booster
dose of vaccine
should be given
Disease Laboratory Diagnosis Prevention
Rabies 2. Direct microscopy :
 Demonstration of rabies virus
antigen by Direct FAT
 Demonstration of Negri bodies
by Seller’s stain. (other Giemsa
or Mann’s stain)
3. Isolation :
 Animal inoculation :
Intracerebral in mice from
brain, CSF and saliva.
Inoculated mice are examined
for signs of illness and their
brains are examined at death
or at 28 days post-inoculation
for Negri bodies.
Post – exposure :
 Management of
wound:
- Wound toilet
- Antiseptic
- Local infiltration
of rabies Ig
 Passive
immunization :
- Antirabies
serun/ERIG (Equine
Rabies immunoglobulin) 40
IU/kg body wt.
- HRIG (Human Rabies
immunoglobulin) 20 IU/kg body
wt.
Disease Laboratory Diagnosis Prevention
Rabies  Tissue culture :
 WI 38, BHK 21, CER
 Cytopathic effect is minimal
 Virus isolation is identified by IF
as early as 2-4 days after
inoculation.
4. Antibody demonstration :
 By ELISA
 Diagnostic role is limited in
antemortem diagnosis as the
disease is largely fatal.
5. Electron Microscopy :
 Shows bullet shaped virus
6. Molecular method :
 Detection of rabies virus RNA
by RT-PCR
 Active
immunization :
-Antirabies
vaccines (Day
0,3,7,14 & 28)
2. Control :
 Rabies is
primarily a disease
of animals and
control measures
have to be directed
towards the natural
reservoir of the
disease
 Vaccines for
animals

    Disease Laboratory DiagnosisPrevention Rabies 1. Specimen :  Human –  Antemortem : corneal smear, skin biopsy (face/neck), saliva, hair follicles, blood, cerebrospinal fluid  Postmortem : brain (hippocampus, cerebellum)or spinal cord  suspected rabid animals –  Postmortem : brain and salivary glands  Antemortem : saliva and corneal smears 1. Prophylaxis :  Pre-exposure –  Pre-exposure immunization should be three full IM dose of vaccine given on day 0, 7 and 28 or 0, 28 and 56 followed by booster at one year and then a booster every three years.  Laboratory staff and others at high continuing risk of exposure should have their neutralizing antibody titres checked every 6 months. If it is less than 0.5 i.u./ml a booster dose of vaccine should be given

    Disease Laboratory DiagnosisPrevention Rabies  Tissue culture :  WI 38, BHK 21, CER  Cytopathic effect is minimal  Virus isolation is identified by IF as early as 2-4 days after inoculation. 4. Antibody demonstration :  By ELISA  Diagnostic role is limited in antemortem diagnosis as the disease is largely fatal. 5. Electron Microscopy :  Shows bullet shaped virus 6. Molecular method :  Detection of rabies virus RNA by RT-PCR  Active immunization : -Antirabies vaccines (Day 0,3,7,14 & 28) 2. Control :  Rabies is primarily a disease of animals and control measures have to be directed towards the natural reservoir of the disease  Vaccines for animals

Editor's Notes

  • #18 Direct zoonoses- These are transmitted from an infected vertebrate host to a susceptible host (man) by direct contact, by contact with a fomite or by a mechanical vector. The agent itself undergoes little or no propagative or developmental changes during transmission, e.g. rabies, anthrax, brucellosis, leptospirosis, toxoplasmosis. Cyclozoonoses- These require more than one vertebrate host species, but no invertebrate host for the completion of the life cycle of the agent, e.g. echinococcosis, taeniasis. Metazoonoses- These are transmitted biologically by invertebrate vectors, in which the agent multiplies and/or develops and there is always an extrinsic incubation (prepatent) period before transmission to another vertebrate host e.g., plague, arbovirus infections, schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis. Saprozoonoses- These require a vertebrate host and a non-animal developmental site like soil, plant material, pigeon dropping etc. for the development of the infectious agent e.g. aspergillosis, coccidioidomycosis, cryptococosis, histoplasmosis, zygomycosis. Anthropozoonosis: Lower vertebrate to human Zooanthroponosis: Human to Lower vertebrate Amphixenoses: Maintained & transmitted Lower vertebrate Human
