Abstract

A world trend such as the free trade agreement (FTA) promoted by the World Trade Organization (WTO) results in an expansion of both importation and exportation of industrial materials, grain, food products and domestic animals, as well as pets and wild animals. Nowadays not only foods but also various kinds of animals are arrived from all over the world to Japan, and an increase in the risk for invasion of zoonoses from abroad to Japan has been pointed out for many years.<BR>Actually, BSE, 0-157, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HP AI) etc., invaded into Japan within recent several years, and a possibility of the outbreak of rabies, plaque or tularemia which might be introduced by imported animals is still high. In this article, I discuss the risk for zoonoses from the following points. They are “from animal to human, background of the world wide expansion of zoonoses, a warning to human being from nature, zoonosis control strategy. and future problems on zoonosis to be dissolved”.
