World Zoonoses Day 2025, observed on July 6, is a globally recognized event aimed at raising awareness about zoonotic diseases — illnesses that are transmitted between animals and humans.

As the interconnectedness between humans, animals, and the environment becomes increasingly evident, this day emphasizes the urgent need to identify and combat global health threats related to zoonoses. These include infections such as rabies, swine flu, avian influenza, anthrax, brucellosis, leptospirosis, and many others that affect millions of people worldwide each year.

This observance contributes to public education, improved animal health systems, and strengthened global efforts to prevent the spread of these diseases.
