According to the CDC Center for Disease Control and PreventionMore than 6 out of 10 known human infectious diseases originate from animals.
Human unpreparedness
The Head of the Department of Pulmonary Diseases and Intensive Care at St. George University Hospital, Dr. George Jovelkian, said in an interview with the website "Sky News Arabia"that diseases Which is transmitted from animals to humans, is more dangerous than others, because human bodies are not prepared to deal with viruses foreign to them, indicating that any new virus that the human body does not know, a pandemic occurs in the beginning, as happened with Bird flu and pigs
According to Jovelkian, human immunity It takes time to deal with foreign viruses, and therefore we see that the first wave of any pandemic is violent, and its glare fades with the passage of time, due to the formation of community immunity.
The bat is the mediator
Jovelkian explains that there are animals that have the possibility of transmitting more viruses to humans, such as Bat (Bat), because its composition and its burning and digestion process help it to catch many viruses, noting that often the bat plays the role of mediator between the virus and humans, through direct or indirect contact.
He points out that humans have another relationship with virus-carrying animals through their upbringing, such as pigs, birds, cows and camels. viruson the extent of the strengthening of the relationship between humans and infected animals.
Virus capture key
According to Jovelkian, it is not necessary for any virus carried by the animal to be transmitted to humans, unless this virus has the key to enter the animal human bodyAnd this is the main point in the matter, as no matter how deadly the virus is in animals, if it does not have "The key to the human body" The body’s immunity will repel it and kill it in the bud.
The possibility of virus sharing has increased
As for Dr. Ubadah Mudawar, who is a veterinarian, he says in an interview with the website "Sky News Arabia" The infiltration of humans and animals into each other’s environments, increased the possibility of sharing viruses between them, indicating that Zoonoses It constitutes a large proportion of all newly discovered infectious diseases.
The most mischievous animal
He pointed out that the causative agents of zoonotic diseases may be bacterial, viral or parasitic factors, and the mechanism of transmission of these diseases is often through direct contact with animals or their waste, or even by eating contaminated food products Or water, warning that the most harmful animals to humans are rodents such as rats and mice that transmit dangerous diseases.
According to Mudawar, governments’ adoption of an approach that combines public health, veterinary and environmental expertise, contributes to preventing the outbreak of zoonotic diseases and preventing the next pandemic, stressing the role that personal hygiene plays when mixing with animals on farms, which may contribute to limiting the emergence of unwanted viruses.
