Abstract

More than half of the infectious diseases in existence are zoonoses, hence, the necessity calls for us to exemplify these diseases with identifiable pros and cons for a better policy implementation towards improved public health. This is therefore a review of bacterial zoonoses with emphasis on those that are food-borne with the identifiable pros and cons tailored towards policy making and implementation enhancement with a conceptual framework drawn out for Nigeria. The search engines accessed are: Google search, Google scholar, PubMed and HINARI. Zoonotic diseases can be classified based on the causative pathogens which are viruses, parasites, bacteria, fungi and prions. Some of the bacterial zoonotic diseases discussed are: Anthrax, Brucellosis, Bubonic plague, Cat-scratch disease, Claymydiosis or Enzootic abortion, Food-borne diarrheal diseases, Glanders, Leprosy, etc. These diseases have associated merits and demerits. The pros as identified are: possibility of developing natural immunity against the disease in infected humans after recovery most especially in few viral zoonoses; outbreak of zoonosis may enforce proper channeling of resources for human benefits; outbreak of a zoonotic disease may also draw and command global attention to the endemic areas for aids; after an outbreak developed infrastructures, especially in the health sector, may be a trade off from an effective and prompt response to a zoonosis outbreak; there may exist a rapid concomitant technological and intellectual advancement due to the development of vaccines, drugs and other logistics to combat the disease as in the case of COVID-19. The cons are attributable to both the measureable and non measureable reduction in quality of life, loss of lives and animals which are hazardous to human, animal and environmental sustainability, hence, a defective ecosystem that work against sustainable development. Zoonotic diseases are really with accompanied merits and demerits which if properly considered and addressed may be helpful in adequate and effective policy implementation towards sustainable development.

AB  - More than half of the infectious diseases in existence are zoonoses, hence, the necessity calls for us to exemplify these diseases with identifiable pros and cons for a better policy implementation towards improved public health. This is therefore a review of bacterial zoonoses with emphasis on those that are food-borne with the identifiable pros and cons tailored towards policy making and implementation enhancement with a conceptual framework drawn out for Nigeria. The search engines accessed are: Google search, Google scholar, PubMed and HINARI. Zoonotic diseases can be classified based on the causative pathogens which are viruses, parasites, bacteria, fungi and prions. Some of the bacterial zoonotic diseases discussed are: Anthrax, Brucellosis, Bubonic plague, Cat-scratch disease, Claymydiosis or Enzootic abortion, Food-borne diarrheal diseases, Glanders, Leprosy, etc. These diseases have associated merits and demerits. The pros as identified are: possibility of developing natural immunity against the disease in infected humans after recovery most especially in few viral zoonoses; outbreak of zoonosis may enforce proper channeling of resources for human benefits; outbreak of a zoonotic disease may also draw and command global attention to the endemic areas for aids; after an outbreak developed infrastructures, especially in the health sector, may be a trade off from an effective and prompt response to a zoonosis outbreak; there may exist a rapid concomitant technological and intellectual advancement due to the development of vaccines, drugs and other logistics to combat the disease as in the case of COVID-19. The cons are attributable to both the measureable and non measureable reduction in quality of life, loss of lives and animals which are hazardous to human, animal and environmental sustainability, hence, a defective ecosystem that work against sustainable development. Zoonotic diseases are really with accompanied merits and demerits which if properly considered and addressed may be helpful in adequate and effective policy implementation towards sustainable development.
