| rdfs:comment | - A panzootic (from Greek παν pan all + ζόιον zoion animal) is an epizootic (an outbreak of an infectious disease of animals) that spreads across a large region (for example a continent), or even worldwide. The equivalent in human populations is called a pandemic. A panzootic can start when three conditions have been met:
* the emergence of a disease new to the population.
* the agent infects a species and causes serious illness.
* the agent spreads easily and sustainably among animals.

| abstract | - A panzootic (from Greek παν pan all + ζόιον zoion animal) is an epizootic (an outbreak of an infectious disease of animals) that spreads across a large region (for example a continent), or even worldwide. The equivalent in human populations is called a pandemic. A panzootic can start when three conditions have been met:
* the emergence of a disease new to the population.
* the agent infects a species and causes serious illness.
* the agent spreads easily and sustainably among animals. A disease or condition is not a panzootic merely because it is widespread or kills a large number of animals; it must also be infectious. For example cancer is responsible for a large number of deaths but is not considered a panzootic because the disease is, generally speaking, not infectious.
