Zoonosis or a zoonotic disease is an infectious disease which an animal can give to a human. These diseases may be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Zoonotic diseases are very common. About 60% of all infectious diseases in humans are spread by animals. Zoonotic diseases can be spread in different ways. They may be spread from a sick animal directly to a human for example, through bites and infected saliva (like with rabies), or through the air. This is called "direct zoonosis". Zoonotic diseases can also be spread through a vector. This is an animal that carries the pathogen that causes the disease without getting infected. Diseases like this are called "vector-borne diseases". Sometimes the vector picks up the disease from another animal. For example, rats who have the bubonic plague do not directly infect humans. Instead, fleas bite the rats and pick up the bacteria that causes plague without getting sick. Then, if the flea bites a human, they can pass the bacteria on to the human, and the human can get the plague. The rat is the host of the disease, and the flea is the vector. Types of zoonotic diseases. Foodborne illnesses. Many foodborne illnesses are zoonotic diseases. In these cases, a human gets infected by eating food that came from a sick animal, or one which had picked up a parasite. The most common pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses are "Salmonella", "Campylobacter", and "Escherichia coli" ("E. coli") bacteria. Eggs, seafood, meat, poultry, and dairy products can all carry these bacteria and cause foodborne illnesses, like food poisoning, in humans. Other zoonotic illnesses that humans can get from eating or drinking include: Often, people can avoid foodborne illnesses by cooking meat, seafood, and eggs well enough to kill the bacteria or parasites in them. Direct zoonoses. Below are some examples of zoonotic diseases that humans can get directly from sick, live animals.
Teasel is a plant in the genus Dipsacus. There are about 15 different species of teasel. These flowering plants are tall and leafy (herbaceous).

Cleaner shrimp is a generic term for any swimming decapod crustacean that cleans other organisms of parasites. This is an example of symbiosis: Both parties benefit. The fish benefit because they have parasites removed, and the shrimp gain the nutritional value of the parasites. In many coral reefs, there are cleaning stations, with many cleaning shrimps. This behaviour is similar to that of cleaner fish. Sometimes, cleaer shrimp join cleaner wrasse and other cleaner fish. Cleaner shrimp are often included in salt water aquaria to keep the tank clean.
Mimosa is a genus of plants. It has around 590 species of herbs and shrubs. It is classified in the subfamily Mimosoideae of the legume family Fabaceae. The word "mimosa" comes from the Greek word that means "mimic". The best known species of mimosa are "Mimosa pudica" and "Mimosa tenuiflora". "Mimosa pudica" is found in Central and South America. When touched or heated, it folds its leaves. "Mimosa tenuiflora" is used by shamans (traditional magical) healer.  It is used in ayahuasca brews (a "magic" drink) because of the psychedelic drug N,N-Dimethyltryptamine DMT in its roots. In general, the production of such a chemical is a defence against herbivory. Grouping. The "Mimosa" genus has been split up into smaller groupings or lumped into larger ones. It has over 3,000 names to describe its species. Most of these names are now considered synonyms. Some of the names have been given to other species and genera. The name "mimosa" has been used for other species that look like mimosa but are not related. Some of the most common unrelated plants called this name are the silk tree ("Albizia julibrissin") and sattle ("Acacia dealbata"). Description. This genus includes some plants that are able to move fast. This is very rare. The mimosa's leaves close quickly when touched. "Mimosa" is related to the genera "Acacia" and "Albizia". The difference between them is that the mimosa's flowers have ten or fewer stamens. The big round flower of the mimosa is actually an inflorescence, a cluster (close group) of many small flowers.
Isopods are animals that belong to an order of peracarid crustaceans. This order is called "Isopoda. "The name Isopoda derives from the Greek roots ("iso-", meaning "same") and ("podos", meaning "foot"). Some isopod species live in water, like the tongue louse. Others live on land, like woodlice and pill bugs. Description. Isopods can be half an inch long. They are usually gray, brown or black, with an oval-shaped body. They have seven armor plates, called "pereonites," which protect them. They also have seven pairs of short legs. Isopods have two pairs of antennae; one pair feels along the ground. Isopods have gills and need water to breathe. Because of this, the isopod species which live on land must stay in moist places.

Police searched Denke's home and found human flesh in huge jars of curing salts. A ledger (record book) contained the details of 30 people Denke had murdered and cannibalized (eaten) over the years. Police thought he sold the flesh of his victims at the Breslau (today's Wrocław) market. The day after his arrest, Denke hanged himself in his cell. His exact motives are unknown and can only be guessed at.
Taglish and Englog are the names of the mixed language family that developed in Manila from the of English and Tagalog languages, the common languages of the Philippines. There are several versions of it, including Coño English, Jejenese and Swardspeak. There are attempts to differentiate the usage of Taglish and Englog where Taglish refers to the usage of English words in Tagalog syntax while Englog refers to the usage of Tagalog words in English syntax. Taglish and Englog are used by Filipinos in countries like Australia, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom. It is used in text messages to write more quickly. Characteristics. Taglish (or Englog) is a language of Manila created by mixing the English and the Tagalog languages together. The language is used because Tagalog words are longer than words in English. Example: English action words, and even some naming words, can be Tagalog action words.

The English action word "drive" can be changed to the Tagalog word "magda-drive" meaning "will drive" (used in place of the Tagalog word "magmamaneho"). The English naming word "Internet" can also be changed to the Tagalog word "nag-Internet" meaning "have used the Internet". Taglish and Englog also use sentences of mixed English or Tagalog words and phrases. The conjunctions used to connect them can come from eany of the two. Some examples include: Because its informal nature, experts of English and Tagalog discourage its use. Forms. Jejenese. Jejenese is the kind of speech used by people called "Jejemons".

Those who have been infected for a long time (chronic infection) may experience liver damage, kidney failure, infertility, or bladder cancer. In children, it may cause poor growth and learning difficulty. Cause. The disease is caused by contact with fresh water containing the parasites (schistosomes). These parasites are from infected freshwater snails. The disease is very common among children in developing countries, as they are more likely to play in infected water. Other high-risk groups include farmers, fishermen, and people using unclean water. It is a helminth infections. Eggs of the parasite may be found in urine or stool. Antibodies may also be found in the blood. Prevention and treatment. To prevent the disease use clean water and reduce snails. The medicine praziquantel may be given once a year to everybody in some places. This will decrease the number of people infected. Praziquantel is also the treatment recommended by the World Health Organization for those who are known to be infected. Epidemiology. Schistosomiasis affected about 252 million people in 2015.
