Zoonoses are infectious diseases that can transfer between animals and humans, such as rabies, anthrax, influenza (H1N1 and H5N1), Nipah, Covid-19, brucellosis, and tuberculosis; however, not all diseases are 'zoonotic', said the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD) on Sunday. 

The department has organised an interactive session chaired by Alka Upadhyaya, the Secretary of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (AHD), to observe World Zoonoses Day.
