This book reframes zoonotic disease control in India by placing animal health — not human epidemiology — at the center of prevention. Spanning 18 chapters, it examines how species-specific physiology (immune, respiratory, reproductive, and thermoregulatory systems) shapes disease susceptibility across cattle, buffalo, poultry, swine, companion animals, and wildlife reservoirs. Disease-focused chapters on rabies, brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis, anthrax, leptospirosis, avian influenza, Nipah virus, and vector-borne infections trace each pathogen from its physiological course in the animal host to the concrete veterinary interventions — vaccination, herd screening, biosecurity, and field diagnostics — that intercept spillover before it reaches humans. A dedicated section on emerging and re-emerging threats, including Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Kyasanur Forest Disease, and mpox, addresses India's shifting risk landscape amid climate change and land-use pressures. The book closes with a call to strengthen veterinary infrastructure, arguing that a well-resourced, preventive veterinary system is India's most effective safeguard against zoonotic spillover.
