About World Zoonoses Day
World Zoonoses Day is an annual opportunity to raise awareness of those diseases that can spread between animals and people and to celebrate global activities taking place to minimise the risks in the future.
World Zoonoses Day is conducted every year to emphasise and bring awareness amongst people about the zoonotic disease and teach them to take the right action.
This date has specific significance in that it marks the scientific achievement of Louis Pasteur, who successfully invented and administered the first vaccination against a zoonotic disease (rabies) on July 6th 1885.
