Because human norovirus strains are able to replicate in pigs, there is a potential for human and swine norovirus exchanging genetic material inside a swine host resulting in novel norovirus strains with zoonotic potential.
Intestinal parasites of dogs and cats are cosmopolitan pathogens with zoonotic potential for humans.
It investigated the potential for the zoonotic spread to humans and evaluates the risk factors associated with subclinical infection among poultry workers in Jiangsu, China.
The advisory especially applies to viruses that have the potential for zoonotic transmission to human vaccine recipients.
Populations of raccoons harboring B. procyonis in and around major urban areas hold particular potential for zoonotic spread to humans.
Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (bTB), an endemic disease of cattle in Great Britain (GB) with the potential for zoonotic transmission to humans.
The frequency of studied bacteria (Salmonella, Shigella in humans and Salmonella and E. coli) corresponds with the frequency of their implication in diarrheal diseases in the region, their potential for zoonotic transmission to humans and their high rates of resistance to available treatment regimens (Amp, Chl, Cip, Cot, Gen, Kan and Tet).
Although the links to climate change are indirect, the example of Nipah virus is a strong warning of the potential for new zoonotic disease outbreaks as future climate change alters animal habitats and human activities intrude.
We emphasise that the maps of zoonotic transmission presented here do not enable assessment of secondary transmission rates in human populations, but they do act as an evidenced-based indicator of locations with potential for future zoonotic transmission and thus outbreaks.
While chlamydial infections are best known for the genitourinary, ocular and respiratory infections they cause in humans, the chlamydiae are also quite common in many wild and domestic animals with potential for severe zoonotic disease [ 4].
