Zoonosis are not a recent problem in the history of humanity. Throughout history, humans have lived with animals and may have contracted diseases, either through direct contact with animals or through contaminated food or the environment. Zoonotic agents often cause fatal diseases, such as plague, rabies, anthrax, brucellosis and various bacterial infections. Regarding the healthiness of meat delivered for consumption in Bukavu, out of a total of 49 samples collected and analyzed, the average FMAT (Total Aerobic Mesophilic Flora or general contamination) is 155.5. 106, total coliforms are 101.106, faecal coliforms 132.106 and pathogens 133.106/g of meat sample.
The meats are more contaminated by a bacterial microflora with high loads. They are therefore unfit for consumption because they can cause toxi-infections, zoonosis and other infectious diseases.
