Definition from
WHO:
A zoonosis is any disease or infection that is naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans. Animals thus play an essential role in maintaining zoonotic infections in nature. Zoonoses may be bacterial, viral, or parasitic, or may involve unconventional agents. As well as being a public health problem, many of the major zoonotic diseases prevent the efficient production of food of animal origin and create obstacles to international trade in animal products.
Example sentences:
Just to give an example how zoonosis can adversely impact the economy of a country- the emergence of SARS in 2003 has the cost the world economy over USD 50 billion on account of medical treatment and loss of revenue associated with abrupt halt of tourism industry. (WHO)
These studies might provide new surveillance opportunities by allowing improved targeting of the key wildlife species most likely to harbour the next emerging zoonosis. (NCBI)
The highest zoonosis burden, they found, occurs in just a few countries, particularly Ethiopia, Nigeria and India. (Live Science)

動物由来感染症
zoonosis is also translated such as 「人畜共通感染症」or「人獣共通感染症」. However, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan states they on the website that they use「動物由来感染症」in terms of human health.
Definition from
厚生労働省:
「動物由来感染症」とは、動物から人間へうつる感染症をあらわす言葉です。「人獣共通感染症」といった言葉もありますが、厚生労働省は人の健康問題という観点に立って、この「動物由来感染症」という言葉を使っています。
Example sentences:
人への感染症については医学が対応し、動物の感染症については獣医学が対応していますが、動物から人へ伝播する動物由来感染症については、医学と獣医学が協力して対応することが大変重要です。 動物由来感染症の病原体の多くは本来は動物が持っているものです。このため動物を生活環境により分類した場合、それぞれの分類群と動物由来感染症との関連性を見いだすことができます。 (厚生労働省)
