East Asia is as a principal hotspot for emerging zoonoticinfections.

Toxoplasma gondii is a widespread parasite of animals that causes zoonoticinfections in humans.
3
Although bacteria, fungi and parasites can be causative agents, the majority of zoonoticinfections are caused by viral pathogens.
4
Corynebacterium ulcerans is an emergent pathogen infecting wild and domesticated animals worldwide that may serve as reservoirs for zoonoticinfections.
5
Toxoplasma gondii is among the most prevalent parasites worldwide, infecting many wild and domestic animals and causing zoonoticinfections in humans.
6
Influenza A(H1) viruses circulating in swine represent an emerging virus threat, as zoonoticinfections occur sporadically following exposure to swine.
7
This parasite can also cause zoonoticinfections in humans, but has been largely neglected due to a lack of diagnostic techniques and studies.
8
Finally, with regard to virology, possible zoonoticinfections emanating from pigs are reviewed, with special emphasis on the pig endogenous retrovirus (PERV).
9
A common clone (ET3) of Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for a large proportion of cases of bovine mastitis and occasionally causes zoonoticinfections of humans.

IMPORTANCE Zoonoticinfections with high case fatality rates caused by avian H7N9 influenza viruses have been reported since early 2013 in China.
