Zoonotic Diseases are the infection which is spread through animals to humans. sometimes Animals carry harmful bacteria, viruses or fungi, or germs themselves which can spread to humans and cause savior infection. Examples like COVID-19 from Bats, Bird flu, Anthrax from sheep, Rabies from Rodents and other mammals, Ebola virus- spread from fruit bats which contaminated other aminals before the virus reaches humans. So, these Zoonotic diseases spread at a very high speed all over the world that's why banning on wildlife trade is completely a matter of survival in pandemic period and these infections also increase due to increasing illegal flora and funna trading.
