Paras Mali.
World Zoonosis Day is celebrated every year on July 6 to spread awareness about zoonotic diseases that spread from animals to humans. The day marks the historical milestone of the first vaccine against a zoonotic disease, which was developed by French biologist Louis Pasteur.
History of World Zoonosis Day
On July 6, 1885, Louis Pasteur administered the first rabies vaccine to a little boy who was bitten by a rabid dog. This vaccine not only prevented the child from getting rabies but also saved his life. The day is an important occasion to remember the contributions of Louis Pasteur and other scientists who invented several vaccines to combat zoonotic diseases.
Significance of World Zoonosis Day
The primary goal of World Zoonosis Day is to raise awareness about zoonotic diseases and their effects on both human and animal health. Zoonotic diseases such as avian influenza, Ebola and West Nile virus can cause serious complications in both humans and animals, sometimes even leading to death.
