“…The wound and skin infections are seen in man and animals due to dog and cat bites or rarely wild predatory animal bites or rodent bites as well (177,178). The numbers of bacterial isolates vary depending on the type of wound, which is commonly mixed as aerobic anaerobic infections (179).…”

Zoonotic infections are globally important diseases and lead to huge economic losses in both low-and middle-income and high-income countries. Global warming, environmental and ecological changes, illegal movement of animals and humans, regional civil wars, and poverty are predisposing factors for the emergence of zoonotic infections and their distribution worldwide; they are also a big threat for the future. In addition, environmental pollution and antimicrobial resistance are immense serious threats and dangers to prevent and control zoonotic infections. The natural location of Turkey allows many emerged or re-emerged infections with zoonotic characteristics by animal movements, such as bird immigrations, and by human movements due to civil wars as seen with regional refugees. Numerous zoonotic diseases, including 37 bacterial, 13 fungal, 29 viral, 28 parasitic (3 trematodes, 7 cestodes, 10 nematodes, and 8 protozoan), and totally 107 infections, have been reported from Turkey to date. Additionally, many ectoparasitic zoonoses within 15 different arthropod groups and one leech infestation have been reported from Turkey to date. The "One Health" initiative is particularly relevant for developing strategies to combat zoonotic diseases. In this article, we review the occurrence of zoonotic diseases in man and animals in Turkey in the light of the "One Health" perspective.

“…Powszechnie występującymi drobnoustrojami w części ustnej gardła (gardło środkowe) są bakterie z gatunku Streptobacillus moniliformis, które stanowią naturalną florę początkowego odcinka przewodu pokarmowego szczura (33,38,62). Zakażenie czło-wieka S. moniliformis następuje w momencie, gdy chory szczur ugryzie człowieka lub poprzez spożycie pokarmu skażonego przez gryzonia, powodując tzw.…”

“…Zakażenie czło-wieka S. moniliformis następuje w momencie, gdy chory szczur ugryzie człowieka lub poprzez spożycie pokarmu skażonego przez gryzonia, powodując tzw. Haverhill fever (38,62). Do najczęstszych objawów klinicznych zakażeń powodowanych przez S. moniliformis zalicza się gorączkę, bóle głowy, dreszcze, wymioty, wysypkę na skórze oraz wielostawowe zapalenie stawów.…”

“…Do najczęstszych objawów klinicznych zakażeń powodowanych przez S. moniliformis zalicza się gorączkę, bóle głowy, dreszcze, wymioty, wysypkę na skórze oraz wielostawowe zapalenie stawów. Nieleczone infekcje na tle S. moniliformis mogą prowadzić do posocznicy, a wtedy śmiertelność sięga 7-13% (33,38,62). Należy podkreślić, że gryzonie są nosicielami (siestwo w kale) szeregu bakterii powodujących choroby przewodu pokarmowego u ludzi, między innymi Escherichia coli (12,42,67), Salmonella sp.…”

SummaryFree-living animals mainly representing Chioptera (particularly bats), Rodentia, Aves and Carnivora are a source of a number of zoonotic pathogens responsible for significant worldwide human morbidity and mortality. The role of bats and rodents as the primary hosts of zoonotic microorganisms has been extensively characterized. The next important group represented by Paramyxoviridae, followed by Filoviridae (Marburg and Ebola viruses), as well as SARS coronavirus have been also reviewed. Avian influenza viruses are precursors of human influenza A viruses. They might be transmitted directly from free-ranging birds and poultry to humans. The importance of vectors in pathogen transmission from free-living animals to humans has been presented.

“…Rodent bites and scratches are common routes of transmission to humans, but simple handling can also lead to infection. 2 Human-to-human transmission has never been documented.…”
