CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) zoonotic disease guidelines

The CDC’s zoonotic disease guidelines provide strategies to prevent and control illnesses transmitted between animals and humans. They recommend proper hygiene, such as regular handwashing after handling animals, and safe practices around pets, farm animals, and wildlife. The guidelines emphasize vaccination where appropriate, proper sanitation, and avoiding contact with sick or wild animals. They also advise monitoring animal health, using protective equipment, and seeking veterinary or medical advice if illness occurs. Overall, these guidelines aim to reduce the risk of zoonotic infections, protecting public health while allowing safe interactions with animals.
