English term or phrase: zoonosis
Definition from WHO:
A zoonosis is any disease or infection that is naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans. Animals thus play an essential role in maintaining zoonotic infections in nature. Zoonoses may be bacterial, viral, or parasitic, or may involve unconventional agents. As well as being a public health problem, many of the major zoonotic diseases prevent the efficient production of food of animal origin and create obstacles to international trade in animal products.

Example sentence(s):
  • Just to give an example how zoonosis can adversely impact the economy of a country- the emergence of SARS in 2003 has the cost the world economy over USD 50 billion on account of medical treatment and loss of revenue associated with abrupt halt of tourism industry. WHO
  • These studies might provide new surveillance opportunities by allowing improved targeting of the key wildlife species most likely to harbour the next emerging zoonosis. NCBI
  • The highest zoonosis burden, they found, occurs in just a few countries, particularly Ethiopia, Nigeria and India. Live Science

人畜共患病


Definition from WHO Chinese page:
人畜共患疾病是动物与人类之间自然传播的一系列传染病。人畜共患疾病传播的最大风险发生在人类——动物的相交点，途经是人与动物、动物产品（如肉、奶、蛋）和/或其环境的直接或间接接触。

Example sentence(s):
  • 最近亚洲一些国家发生的禽流感，继前些年非洲的埃博拉病毒感染、英国的疯牛病之后，再一次发出了一个震惊世界的信号：某些人畜共患疾病至今仍是严重威胁人类生命的凶险杀手！ - 华语网  
  • 人畜共患疾病（也称为人畜共患病）是由动物和人之间共享的感染引起的。每年，成千上万的人会因动物和人之间传播的疾病而生病。这些被称为人畜共患疾病。人畜共患是指在动物和人之间传播的传染病。 - 农业专业知识服务系统  
  • 世卫组织与各部门的伙伴合作，对人畜共患病通过动物产品消费向人类传播的风险进行评价并努力减少这方面风险。世卫组织就如何减少食品链中的这类风险向会员国和公众提供指导。 - WHO
