WASTE FROM FOOD CHAINS AND TRANSMISSION OF ZOONOTIC DISEASES

Many, if not most, important zoonoses are linked in some way to animals participating in the food production chain. Food therefore becomes an important vehicle for many zoonotic pathogens.We focused here on the risk to human health linked to zoonotic microorganisms present in waste generated by food chains and carried by rodents and insects.It appears from our results that poor management of waste from stores was noted with all the consequences on the possibility of contact between rodents and arthropods, moreover the risk of transmission of zoonotic diseases as well as on the climate by production of gases with environmental effects. greenhouse, consequence of poor waste disposal methods by burning and putrefaction during the storage of household waste.In view of the above, the risk of transmission of zoonotic diseases is evident in the current conditions of our food chains.
