Section II An introduction to emerging waterborne zoonoses and general control principles

چکیده
Infectious diseases cause approximately 26% of all deaths worldwide and 31% of all disability. Water plays a role in the transmission of a significant number of these diseases. In the last 20 years, it has been recognized that many diseases are caused by emerging or re-emerging pathogens, 75% of which are zoonotic. Zoonoses can emerge in several ways — for example, as discrete events that lead to establishment of the pathogen in the human population and subsequent human-to-human transmission (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus) or as " spillover " events where the pathogen resides in animal reservoirs, which occasionally results in the transmission of the disease to humans.
