Answer: Zoonotic diseases are those diseases that are transferred from animals to humans.

Step-by-step explanation:

In zoonotic diseases animals are the vectors for the transfer of disease from humans to animals. The organisms that are transferred through zoonotic diseases are bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Mostly the disease causing organisms are parasites. For example rabies, Lyme disease, plague, salmonellosis, west nile virus, and others. These diseases develop risky human behavior. For example humans affected by rabies show phobia from water. Some humans also develop biting tendency.
