Zoonoses comprise a large percentage of all newly identified as well as already existing infectious diseases. Numerous extrinsic factors or drivers, provide conditions that allow for a selected pathogen to expand and adapt to a new niche. These are in most, ecological, political, economic, and social forces operating at local, national, regional, and global levels. Many zoonotic agents fall into the category of pathogens exhibiting extensive animal species diversity, so they can successfully infect hosts, ranging from domestic animals to wildlife - mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, but also invertebrates - insects and ticks. Zoonotic pathogens can be spreading through aerosol, direct contact, fomites, and insects (vectors) bites. However, the foodborne transmission remains a major public health threat, which is quite difficult to eradicate in the food chain. Prevention of dissemination of the zoonotic diseases is based on the identification of their causative agents and the control of their spread in animal populations. This should be effectively complemented with preventive measures in the farm – regular cleaning and disinfecting, control of vectors, food and water hygiene, herd vaccination and also antibiotic therapy, if
necessary. In this article we discuss all these aspects, including farm workers personal hygiene as well, to reduce the contribution of humans as vectors of some infectious agents.
