Abstract :

Anthropocene, which means humans are changing the environment, and that is increasing the chances of infectious diseases severity. Some bacterial diseases from animals are re-emerging globally. Factors like farms, deforestation, animals grazing around, global trade and changes in weather are all making animals and humans interact more. This enhances the chances of disease transmitting from animals to human. Some of the diseases are re-emerging and sometimes worse than before due to leaving this issue unimportantly and pathogens are becoming drug-resistant such as brucellosis, Q-fever, tuberculosis, plague and leptospirosis. Some of these diseases coming back and sometimes worse than before because we're not giving close attention and germs are becoming drug-resistant like brucellosis, leptospirosis, Q fever, tuberculosis from animals, and plague. All these shifts are challenging public health, especially in minimum resource regions where diagnosis is limited. This review highlights the major fundamental and ecological influences behind the re-emergence of bacterial zoonoses in Anthropocene by representing pathogen of concern, highlighting the key pathogen of concern and need of One Health approach.
