Abstract

Zoonosis is defined as an infectious disease able to mutate from animals to humans. Over the past 2000 years of pandemics, we have observed the extent of zoonotic illnesses causing devastating pandemics. In this chapter, we describe the different pandemics of zoonotic origin, as well as the determinant factors for its development.
