According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, human life has several needs in which animals play a key role, such as physiological needs, safety and belongingness. Animals provide humans with food, livelihood as well as companionship. Animal-human interaction carries the risk of transmitting zoonotic diseases known as zoonoses, which are caused by pathogens, i.e. bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, etc., that can endanger the community. Zoonoses are of a global significance with respect to environmental change, health, mobility and international trade that leads to their rapid spread. Newly emerging infectious diseases in humans come from animals, which shows the need to increase monitoring, develop diagnoses and strategies in preventing them and their spread. The article is devoted to an analysis of the incidence of zoonoses in humans in the Mazowieckie Province in comparison with other provinces in Poland. The first part of the manuscript focuses on the epidemiology of selected zoonoses, presents the definition and classification of zoonoses, and emphasises their importance in shaping public health. Legal, infrastructural aspects are also described, and reference is made to areas of research in the field of cooperation in the control of zoonoses. The second part of the article presents a correlation analysis using Pearson’s coefficient, for which statistical data were used. Due to the limited amount of available data, the analysis was made for 2020 and 2021. The final part of the article includes guidelines for zoonotic disease control prevention activities. The purpose of this article is to increase public awareness of zoonoses and the resulting risks, and to analyze the factors that influence their development. The study attempts to determine which factors and to what extent influence the development of zoonoses, and also whether hospital infrastructure is adequately prepared to combat zoonoses.
