Study Notes
Zoonosis and Disease Transmission
- Zoonosis refers to diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans.
Factors Facilitating Disease Transmission
- Globalization facilitates the rapid transport of disease-related organisms around the globe.
Habitat Encroachment and Disease Exposure
- Direct incursion of people into wildlife habitat can lead to increased exposure to disease-related organisms.
Disease Vectors
- Vectors that transmit diseases to humans include mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas.
Urbanization and Disease Exposure
- The primary role of urbanization is to increase the proximity of humans to disease-carrying animals, leading to increased exposure to disease-related organisms.
