Zoonotic Diseases: Challenges, Stages, and Emerging: Impacts of Modern Farming on Zoonotic Disease Emergence

Abstract

This study discovered compelling evidence connecting modern farming methods and intensifiedsystems to the emergence and spread of diseases. To determine whether the net effect of intensifiedagricultural production is more or less favourable to disease emergence and amplification than if it werenot used, however, would need knowledge beyond what is now accessible. Agriculture expansionencourages the encroachment of wildlife habitats, altering the ecosystem and bringing people andlivestock closer to wild animals, their vectors, and the sylvatic cycles of potential zoonotic pathogens.
