Background and Aim: In recent years, with the increase in world population, the demand for seafood has increased. Since seafood is one of the important protein sources for people, the fisheries and aquaculture industry has also shown sustainable growth worldwide, and diseases shared between humans and fish pose significant problems in the aquaculture and fisheries industries worldwide. created the world. So that these diseases can cause widespread threats to humans. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate and review some common diseases between humans and aquatic animals.
Results: With the growth of world population and global trade, the risk of environmental pollution and zoonoses caused by aquatic animals is increasing in humans. The important agents of zoonoses include bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi. Meanwhile, zoonosis bacterial agents are divided into two main groups: Gram-positive (Mycobacteria, Streptococcus, and Erysiplothrix families) and Gram-negative (Aeromonas, Vibrios, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacteriaceae families).
Conclusion: Most common diseases between humans and fish are transmitted to humans mainly through the consumption of raw fish or its products. Therefore, the incidence of common diseases between humans and fish can be reduced by proper processing of fish and its products such as thermal processing (heat, freezing). The prevalence of common agents between humans and fish varies seasonally and should be regularly monitored to assess the prevalence of pathogens in both wild and farmed fish populations. The best way to reduce the risk of contracting these infections and diseases is to use appropriate public health practices and specific health protocols. This review focuses on the causes of common diseases between humans and fish and their control and prevention.
