Zoonoses

Zoonoses are diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. People can be exposed to the bacteria, protozoa, fungi, viruses and parasites that cause zoonoses in a number of ways and therefore anyone working with or handling animals needs to know about zoonoses and the precautions they should take to minimize their risk of infection.
