Abstract

The word "zoonosis" describes a disease that people can catch from domestic or wild
animals. Zoonoses demand particular care due to the extensive traffic in live aquatic
animals and their products, as well as the global expansion of aquaculture. Due to the
variety of transmission channels and the fact that many zoonotic diseases do not cause
sickness in aquatic organisms, pathogen interactions between aquatic species and humans
are complex. The following groupings can be used to classify zoonotic diseases: a) skin
conditions brought on by contact with aquatic creatures or their byproducts b) Zoonotic
diseases that can be contracted by eating or touching fish. C) Foodborne diseases caused on
by ingesting raw or undercooked aquatic products. From a microbiological perspective,
fish and related foods are a group that should be avoided. It is not advisable for people with
weakened immune systems to handle fish or maintain fish aquariums. When handling fish
or cleaning fish tanks, they should put on thick, waterproof gloves. As a result, it is essential
to conduct ongoing epidemiological surveillance of zoonotic bacteria identified in fish and
their impacts on public health.
