Overview
Cats, dogs, and other animals can transmit a wide variety of diseases to humans, ranging from trivial infections to life-threatening diseases. In the U.S., casual contact and bites from animals cause millions of human infections every year. Animals can also spread parasites that cause birth defects and visual impairment, transmit bacteria that cause severe gastrointestinal illness, and introduce new and deadly respiratory infections. This module provides nurses and emergency services professionals with information on old and new diseases transmitted by animals, how to identify them, and how to prevent them.
