Zoonotic diseases and warnings about their increasing frequency

#PureScience #ThePrintScience #VIrus
Zoonotic diseases are those that are transmitted from animals to humans. ThePrint’s Sandhya Ramesh discusses some of the common ones, some other ongoing zoonotic outbreaks, and a stark UN warning about increasing risk of newer outbreaks.

Correction: The bubonic plague is caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, not a virus. Error is regretted.
