Viral zoonotic diseases of horses

Abstract

This literature review provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the epidemiology of equine zoonotic viruses. It focuses on the critical question of which viruses have and will continue to play significant roles in the relationship between humans and equids due to current trends such as globalization and climate change. To accomplish this, an extensive review of scientific papers and books, as well as general supporting reports, spanning from 1978 to 2023, was done. This work comprises a literature review, an analysis of the current field, a discussion, and a conclusion.
