About 60% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonoses. zoonoses account for over half of all emerging infectious diseases. Any part of the world can be found in these types of diseases. Ethiopia, Nigeria, Tanzania, and India are among the countries with the largest number of zoonotic diseases. Other countries are deemed hotspots for emergence of zoonotic diseases in other nations.
