Vaccinate Yourself & Your Animals Against Highly Fetal & Fast Spreading Zoonotic Diseases ZOONOTIC DISEASES Zoonoses or zoonotic diseases are diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans and humans to animals.

According to a survey that total 2.5 billion cases of zoonotic diseases occurred in humans, 2.7 millions deaths and huge reproduction loss in livestock occurred due to 56 zoonotic diseases and huge number of livestock, poultry and companion animals are culled in order to prevent zoonotic diseases. There are different ways to prevent zoonotic diseases but I will only write about CONTENTS A) PREVENTION OF ZOONOTIC DISEASES TO HUMANS BY VACCINATION OF HUMANS In this portion , I tried to write about following zoonotic diseases causative agent , transmission and it's available vaccines and vaccination schedule in humans. RABIES ANTHRAX BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS HEPATITIS E EBOLA MALARIA LEPTOSPIROSIS LOUPING ILL BRUCELLOSIS TOXOPLASMOSIS BIRD FLU or INFLUENZA DENGUE COMPYLOBACTER INFECTION GLANDERS GIARDIASIS B) CONTROL AND PREVENTION OF ZOONOTIC DISEASES BY VACCINATION OF ANIMALS There are three strategies for vaccination of animals and their examples STRATEGY 1 STRATEGY 2 STRATEGY 3 PREVENTION OF ZOONOTIC DISEASES TO HUMANS BY VACCINATION OF HUMANS

Vaccination in humans : No commercially available vaccines by two vaccines got approval against Ebola in humans for age above 18 years. 1) Vaccine rVSV-ZEBOV : Single-dose vaccine approved by FDA , USA. 2) Ad26. ZEBOV/MVA-BN-Filo: Two dose vaccine 7) MALARIA Causative Agent : There are 5 species of plasmodium which causing malaria in humans Transmission : Through mosquitoes Vaccination in human : RTS,S/ASO1 Malaria Vaccine recommend by World Health Organisation for prevention of only Plasmodium Falciparum in childrens of 5 months age First dose : At 5 months of age Second dose : At 6th months Third dose : At 7th month Fourth dose : At 9 months of age 8) LEPTOSPIROSIS Causative Agent : Genus Leptospira bacteria Vaccination in humans : No commercially available vaccines for human but Doxycycline can be used as preventive treatment for short time. 9) LOUPING ILL Causative Agent : Louping ill virus Transmission : Tick borne Vaccination in humans : No specific vaccination available 10) BRUCELLOSIS : Causative Agent: Brucella Abortus from cattle Brucella melitensis from goat and sheep Brucella Suis from Hogs Vaccination in humans : No licensed vaccine for humans 11) TOXOPLASMOSIS Causative Agent : Toxo plasma Gondi Vaccine : No available livcenced vaccine but research work is goingon on it and there is high chance to develop an effective vaccine against T.Gondi. 12) BIRD FLU or INFLUNLENZA : Causative Agent : Influnza Virus H5N1 subtype Prevention & Control: 1) Vaccination : No commercially available vaccines in market but US Government have vaccine against avian flu in Nation's National Stockpile.FDA licenced this vaccine in 2007 for H5N1 influenza or bird flu. 2) Don't contact with sick birds is best to prevent it. 13) DENGUE Causative Agent : Dengue Viruse ( DENV) . Vaccination in humans: Vaccine are available for for childrens age 9 to 16 in USA but vaccine is not available commercially in Pakistan and many other countries. 14) COMPYLOBACTER INFECTION Causative Agent: Campylobacter Jejuni bacteria Vaccination in humans : No available vaccinecat scratch fever 15) GLANDERS Causative Agent : Burkholderia Mallei bacteria Transmission : Contact with infected horses Vaccination for human : No vaccine available for glanders 16) GIARDIASIS Causative Agent : Protozoan Giardia Lamblia Transmission : Ingestion of contaminated food, water or from person to person Vaccination for humans : No available livcenced vaccine for human B) CONTROL AND PREVENTION OF ZOONOTIC DISEASES BY VACCINATION OF ANIMALS There are vaccine based strategies for controlling of Zoonotic diseases from animals to humans.

1) STRATEGY 1 : In this strategy those zoonotic diseases and their vaccines are included which transmitted from wild animals but domestic animals and humans are dead end host and don't contribute in transmission of disease. For first strategy , vaccination of humans and domestic animals is necessary to prevent disease but vaccination can not stop transmission of zoonotic diseases. It's examples are following. WEST NILE DISEASE Causative Agent : West Nile Disease Virus from flavivirus Transmission : Mosquitoe bite Vaccination in humans : Not available but Chimerivax-wn02 vaccine clinical trial completed but not licensed the vaccine. 2) STRATEGY 2 : In this strategy these Zoonotic diseases and vaccines are included which transmitted from domestic animals to humans and other domestic animals. For seccond strategy vaccination of domestic animals is necessary to protect humans from zoonotic diseases and also stop transmission of disease from domestic animals to humans or domestic animals to other domestic animals. It's examples are following. a) E-COLI Causative Agent: E.Coli bacteria Transmission : Food borne b) CAT SCRATCH DISEASE Causative Agent : Bartonella Henselae bacteria Transmission : By cat flea bite, Contact with cat like paw scratches c) HENDRA VIRUS DISEASE Causative Agent : Hendra Virus from Paramyxoviridae. Transmission : Contact with sick horses d) RIFT VALLEY FEVER Causative Agent : Rift Valley Fever from Bunyaviridae. Transmission : By all three ways of vector mosquitoes , contact , aerosol routes from livestock. e) VENEZUELIAN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS Causative Agent : VEE virus from Togaviridae Transmission : Through mosquitoe vector bite from equids f) BRUCELLOSIS Causative Agent : Brucella Mellitensis from sheep & goats Brucella Abortus from cattle Brucella Suis from pigs Brucella Canis from dogs Transmission : Contact borne, aerosol borne and ingestion of under cooked meat or unpasteurised milk 3) STRATEGY 3 : In this strategy these zoonotic diseases and their vaccination is included which are transmitted from wild animals to humans and domestic animals and diseases transmission remains constant in cycle to wild animals. For third strategy immunization of wild mammals and birds can be applied to prevent transmission but can not be applied for all diseases due to different barriers in vaccination of wildlife. This strategy examples are following. a) LYME DISEASE Causative Agent : Spirochete Borrelia Burgdorferi Transmission : Through ticks vector b) BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS Causative Agent : Mycobacterium Bovis Transmission : Through aerosol route or ingestion of poor cooked meat and raw milk from humans or animals c) RABIES Causative Agent : Rabies virus from Transmission : Dogs and some wild animals bite. Doctor claim : I tried to write about vaccination of most important zoonotic diseases and it's vaccination in humans and animals according to my knowledge. May be I am wrong or miss typed some knowledge so errors and emissions will be accepted and don't claim that all knowledge is 100 percent correct because as Doctor I may commit mistakes. This is biggest pleasure for me to transfer the knowledge to you all which I have & hope you all will get benefits from it. My request is to remember me in your prays and May GOD made me a successful Doctor. Further you can take help about Veterinary & Medicine and zoonotic diseases transfer to humans and it's vaccination. 1) World Veterinarians Page 2) WORLD VETERINARIANS GROUP 3) WORLD VETERINARIANS GROUP-NEW
