zoonosis

n. animal disease which can be transmitted to humans

A zoonosis (pronounced ) is any infectious disease that is able to be transmitted (vectored) from other animals, both wild and domestic, to humans or from humans to animals (the latter is sometimes called reverse zoonosis).The word is derived from the Greek words zoon (animal) (IPA: zo'on) and nosos (disease). Many serious diseases fall under this category.The plural of zoonosis is zoonoses, from which an alternative singular zoonose is derived by back-formation.
