What makes a disease Zoonotic - how are they able to transmit between human and animal when other diseases cannot?
There are a variety of factors that will make a particular disease zoonotic while other similar diseases are not.

For instance, the outbreak of "bird flu" (H5N1) in Southeast Asia in the early 2000s targeted a particular protein in the respiratory tract that was very similar in poultry and in humans.
