Zoonosis (pronounced as zoh-ON-ah-sis) is any infectious disease that may be transmitted from other animals, both wild and domestic, to humans.

The word is derived from the Greek words zoon (animal) (pronounced as zoo-on) and nosos (disease). Many serious diseases fall under this category.

The plural of zoonosis is zoonoses, from which an alternative singular zoonose is derived by back-formation.
