Bacterial Zoonotic Diseases

Bacterial zoonotic diseases are infections that can be transmitted from animals to humans through bacteria. These diseases can occur through direct contact with infected animals, their fluids, or contaminated food or water. Examples include Lyme disease from ticks and leptospirosis from contact with animal urine. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include fever, gastrointestinal issues, or skin infections. Preventive measures include practicing good hygiene, cooking food thoroughly, and avoiding contact with sick animals. Understanding these diseases helps us protect both human health and animal welfare.
