Zoonotic Diseases Awareness is a website which acts as an interactive teaching tool, as it explains and describes Zoonosis visually rather than literally. Zoonosis is any disease that started from animals and passed on to humans. The recent Pandemic of COVID-19 is a Zoonotic Disease, starting in bat or civet cat origin, and spreading to humans. This website informs people how they can stop the spread of Zoonosis, and what to look out for in case of Zoonotic transmission. The users of this website can visually learn and interact with the Top 8 Zoonotic Diseases of Public Heath Concern, and they can experience and read about what diseases certain animal classes have. This website is a compilation of information from CDC, WHO, and many other websites and research studies, to allow the general public to get a better understanding on a disease type that has once been overlooked.
