the major part to the human wildlife interaction. People poor knowledge with respect to zoonotic
pathogens is also a major cause in India. The outbreak of diseases such as influenza, nipah, rabies,
plague, anthrax and leishmaniasis illustrates the distress that human population faced because of human
