The article provides information on zoonosis as reported in the periodical "National Geographic." Zoonosis is the phenomenon in which a disease leaps from its nonhuman prey into a human being such as the case of the bubonic plague, bird-flu, Ebola and Marburg virus. Scientists believed that bats are the favorite hiding place of the disease's pathogens. It stresses that ecological disturbance leads to the emergence of the disease as bats tend to migrate to other places with domesticated animals. |
