Q1: A zoonotic disease is an illness that spreads from animals to humans. One common example is rabies, which can be transmitted through the bite of an infected animal.
Q2: People can reduce the risk of zoonotic diseases by washing their hands after touching animals, keeping pets vaccinated, avoiding contact with sick or wild animals, cooking meat properly, drinking safe water, and maintaining good hygiene around livestock and pets.
Q3: Keeping both animals and humans healthy is important because healthy animals are less likely to spread diseases. Regular veterinary care, vaccinations, and good hygiene help protect animals, humans, and the environment from infections.
