World Zoonoses Day is observed on July 6th each year to raise awareness about zoonotic diseases, which are infections that are transmitted from animals to humans. This day commemorates the work of Louis Pasteur, who successfully administered the first vaccine against rabies, a zoonotic disease, on July 6, 1885. The day aims to highlight the importance of preventing, diagnosing, and managing zoonotic diseases, which can have significant health impacts on both animals and humans. It also underscores the need for collaboration between veterinary and human medicine to control and prevent these diseases.
