Abstract EN
-A zoonosis is an animal disease that is transmissible to humans.
Humans are usually an accidental host that acquires disease through close contact with an infected animal, who may or may not be symptomatic.
Children are at highest risk for infection because they are more likely to have close contact with pets.
Pets are responsible for transmission of an extensive array of bacterial, fungal, and parasitic zoonotic pathogens.
The route of transmission can be through the saliva (e.g., bites or contaminated scratches), feces, respiratory secretions, direct contact, or by the animal acting as a vehicle and source of tick or flea exposure.
Although pets have been implicated in transmission of zoonoses to their owners, risk of transmission from contact with pets is low and may be further reduced by simple precautions.
