Zoonoses and their Transmission
Explore the world of zoonoses, diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans, including direct and reverse zoonoses. Learn about the various ways zoonotic diseases can be transmitted and the types of animals that can carry these diseases. Discover why farmers may be more susceptible to contracting zoonoses and how diseases can be transmitted through everyday interactions with animals. Remember, healthy animals lead to healthy people.

Mustansiriyah University College of science Biology Dept. Zoology 4th class Zoonoses lab. (1)
What are zoonoses Zoonotic :diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans and may give problems in humans. direct zoonoses the disease is directly transmitted from animals to humans through media such as air , saliva. reverse zoonoses: Diseases that are transmitted from humans to animals.
transmission Zoonotic transmission can occur in any context in which there is companion (pets), economic (farming, etc.), predatory (hunting, butchering or consuming wild game) or research contact with or consumption of animals, animal products, or animal derivatives (vaccines, etc.).
What kind of animals transmit zoonoses Farm Animals Wild Animals Cattle Swine Goats Cats & dogs Poultry Ticks Squirrels Raccoons Mice/rodents others
Farmers more susceptible to contracting zoonoses More likely to share air and space with animals More contact with domestic and wild animals
How are disease transmitted? Every day contact with animals. Transporting carcasses. By-products (feces/urine). Scratches or bites. From milk and milking. Contaminated soils. Contaminated meats.
