Zoonoses are any disease or infection that is naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans. More than 200 types of zoonoses are recognized till date. Zoonoses comprise a large percentage of new and existing diseases in humans. Certain zoonoses, like rabies, can be completely avoided with vaccination and other preventative measures. A few diseases, like HIV, start off as zoonoses before evolving into strains that are exclusive to humans. Disease outbreaks that repeat frequently include salmonellosis and the Ebola virus. Others have the potential to start worldwide pandemics, as the new corona virus that causes COVID-19. It is estimated that over 60% of the western families own a pet as a result reverse zoonoses and zoonoses has become a major problem. Each pathogen has different preventive measures for zoonotic diseases. In this present review work, we have highlighted some of the preventive strategies of these infectious diseases. In the agricultural sector, safe and adequate rules for animal care contribute to a lower risk of food borne zoonotic disease outbreaks through the consumption of meat, eggs, dairy products, and even some plants. Surface water protections in the natural environment, trash removal guidelines, and standards for clean drinking water are very crucial. Campaigns to educate people about the importance of washing your hands after coming into touch with animals and other behavioral changes can help stop the spread of zoonotic diseases in the community. Limiting Transmission Risks, Boosting the Body’s Defences, Understanding Vaccination, promoting veterinary public health at collective scale, Anticipating risks through monitoring and assessment are some of the preventive measures for Zoonoses.
