Abstract

Zoonomy is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the relationship between animal and human health and disease. It seeks to understand how diseases can be transmitted between animals and humans, and how these diseases impact public health. Zoonomy plays a crucial role in the prevention and control of zoonotic diseases, which are diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. This field also utilizes animal models in medical research to study human diseases, which can lead to advancements in treatment and prevention strategies. However, the use of animals in research raises ethical considerations that must be carefully considered. As zoonomy continues to evolve, there are emerging trends and technologies that show promise in furthering our understanding of the interconnectedness of animal and human health. In conclusion, zoonomy serves as a bridge between animal and human health and disease, and its importance cannot be overstated in the context of disease prevention and public health.
