BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the term used for diseases that transfer from animals to humans.
First, consider the core concept: diseases that originate in animals and can be transmitted to humans are classified as zoonoses, or zoonotic diseases. This category includes illnesses like influenza strains that cross from birds or other animals, to humans, as well as diseases such as certain forms of measles-like illness and tuberculosis that have animal reservoirs or transmission pathways.
Next, reflect on what a few common alternative phrasings might imply, even though no options are provided here: terms like vector-borne diseases describe transmission via another organism (e.g., mosquitoes) rather than the animal reservoir itself; the idea of a disease being endemic refers to a constant presence within a population rather than cross-species transmission; zoonosis specifically emphasizes the cross-species jump from animals to humans, which is the key distinction in this context.
Given the standard epidemiological terminology, zoonotic diseases accurately capture the concept of pathogens that move from animal hosts into humans, illustrating the animal-to-human transmission pathway central to this question.
Because the list of answer choices is missing in the provided data, we cannot evaluate each option against the concept, but the correct technical term for diseases that transfer from animals to humans is zoonotic diseases.
