Parasite
Affects mammals such as
dogs, cats and humans
Animals get disease when
coming in direct contact with
the eggs
Symptoms: Potbellied, lack
of luster on coat, loss of
appetite


People can get it when
coming in contact with
contaminated soil
Prevention:
People- wear shoes where
you may come in contact
with contaminated soil
Animals- give heartworm
medications(they kill
hookworms), keep away
from areas that could be
contaminated
Treatment: give de wormer

Virus
Scientific Name:
Hydrophobia
Bats are a big carrier of
the disease but animal
can get it.
People and animals can
get it from a bite from
infected animal.
Flue symptoms
Prevention:
Vaccinations and not to
be bitten.

Tsetse flies spread this disease
Get it when fishing or hunting in a rural area,
the fly bites and injects the parasite which then
hatches and leaves an open wound
If you have it, you may not be aware of it, you
will be sleepy, depressed and have open sores
It can be prevented by not going to rural Africa
and seeking medical help

let your cat lick and open
wound.
Little to No symptoms in cats.

Hosts: rats, mice, and moles (stillmoist urine)


Causes meningitis, hepatitis, and
renal failure (antibiotics)

Weak animal vaccine--no human
vaccine

200-250 mg doxycyline per week

Prevention: protected water
supply, rodent control, proper
waste disposal, and overall
Websites: improved hygiene.

Common name:
salmonella
Scientific name:
Salmonellosis
In the case of less serious infections,
there are fewer symptoms: usually
only diarrhea two or three times a
day for a couple of days.
Most mild types of salmonella
infection clear up in four to seven
days without requiring any
treatment other than rest and plenty
of liquid.
A more severe infection may cause
excessive diarrhea, stomach cramps
and general health problems.
How it is transmitted to
humans: One way that
someone can get salmonella is
by direct contact and
consumption of something
that is infected with bacteria.
Wash you hands.
Any uncooked meat or eggs
don't consume
Salmonella: is carried
by cold blooded
animals, such as
turtle, snakes, etc.
Can be transmitted, to
humans, chickens
Parasit.
Commons names: Bang's disease,
Crimean fever, Gibraltar fever,
Malta fever, Maltese fever,
Mediterranean fever, rock
fever, or undulant fever.
Scientific name: Brucella abortus.
The diseas is on: goats and sheep,
pigs, cattle and bison, sheep,
dogs.
The animals get it from:
unsterilized milk or meat from
infected animals or close
contact with their secretions.

transmission:through sexual
contact or from mother to
child.
Anthrax is a bacteria

Common name: Anthrax

Scientific name: bacillus anthracis

What animals carry this disease? Cattle, sheep, goats, deer, and
camels

Animals can acquire this by swallowing anthrax spores while
grazing.

Humans can get this disease by inhaling anthrax spores.

Infected animals may stagger, have difficulty breathing, tremble,
and finally collapse and die within a few hours. Symptoms are the
same for humans

It will kill humans if not treated

Anthrax is hard to treat but if detected soon enough antibiotics
will get rid of it

Its hard to prevent but a vaccine is available

The animal gets TB when it
inhales the bacteria. Humans can
get it if they eat raw or
undercooked meat of an animal
with TB.
Dogs are the most
common carries of
TB
To prevent TB, encourage the person with
it to follow treatment , use protective
measures, such as face masks, and do not
spend long periods of time in stuffy,
enclosed rooms with anyone who has
active TB.
-Virus
-Common names- Swamp Fever and EIA
-Scientific name- Equine Infectious Anemia
-Horses, mules, donkies, and ponies are all susceptible
to the virus.
-Animals get it from flies and other blood sucking
insects or being within close proximity to another
infected animals.
-People cannot contract the virus although it is very
similar to HIV.
-Symptoms: Reoccurring fever, depression, lack of
appetite, small areas of hemorrhaging on the mucous
membranes, swelling of the legs and lack of
coordination.
-May also cause infertility or loss of pregnancy.
-Animal will be forever infected. The animal must be
branded and quarantined the rest of its life or
euthanized.
-Prevention: Fly control programs, keeping barns and
other areas clean, sterile health equipment (syringes),
and test all equine animals every 12 months for EIA.

Genetic Defect, prevents
blood from clotting
normally.
It can not be passed to
humans.
Dogs and mice can get
hemophilia.
Can be fixed with Gene
Therapy.
Symptoms- will bleed
longer than normally.

Bacteria-Lyme’s disease-Ixodes scapularis
Deer ticks infected with Borrelia burgdorferi carry this disease.
Deer ticks found on deer that harbor Borrelia burgdorferi, get
infected after they bite the deer.
It is passed to humans and other animals when an infected tick
bites them, and stays attached longer than 36 hours.
Symptoms(in people)-Tiredness, Chills and fever, Headache,
Muscle and/or joint pain Swollen lymph glands, and a skin rash.
Symptoms (in animals)-mild fever, slight depression, fatigue,
muscle soreness, and reduced appetite.
Prevention (in people)-Wear long bright clothing, use bug spray,
try and stay out of long grass, and check you body for ticks after
you have been outside. If you do have a tick remove it right away.

A prion is an infectious
agent that is composed
primarily of protein, which
can cause BSE
Any animal can have an be affected by BSE, but is mostly found circulating in cows
Other animals can get it from being subjected to a sick animal’s wastes or by meat/other
things in body
It is passed to humans usually by meat
The symptoms can be depression, difficulty walking, and dementia, and after 6 months coma
and death for humans and difficulty in standing, difficulty to walk, some problems in muscle
coordination, slight change in behavior and attitude, lose weight quickly in animals
BSE basically deteriorates the inside of your body, mostly the spinal cord, tissue, an brain
No treatment or diagnosis for disease
There really isn’t a way to avoid it since prions are indestructible, but avoiding diseased
animals and stop the reuse of dead cows ashes turned into powder for the food will help

Any mammal can be infected by
toxoplasmosis.
Toxoplasmosis is a parasite.
Common name: Toxoplasmosis
Scientific name: Toxoplasma gondii infection.
Humans that are
in rival areas are
more likely to get
the infection.
But the infection is most carried in new
born kittens. Coming out from the
placenta.
Most cats are infected congenitally or by
hunting behavior soon after weaning.
60 million people
carry the
toxoplasmosis
infection. But
your immune
system can hide
the infection and
will not harm
you.
Babies are more likely to get the disease from humans.
Just like kittens they get it from the placenta in the mom.

being bitten by ticks,
same with humans.
Dogs can pass it
through saliva.
Initial Symptoms:
fever, nausea,
vomiting, severe

Its is a infectious disease
Common name is beaver fever
Scientific name : Giardia intestinalis
Signs and symptoms are Diarrhea, abdominal cramps
and nausea.
Humans and animals carry this disease
Giardiasis may be found in soil, food, water, or
surfaces that have been contaminated with the feces
from infected humans or animals.
There is no drug to prevent Giardiasis, but you could
wash hands and avoid water or food that might be
contaminated.

Female rabbits
The doe can get it by
dragging her dewlap
in the water bowl.
Turns a green color
Has a distinct smell


Can not be passed to
humans
To treat: clip wet fur
off of dewlap, apply
an antibiotic.
To prevent: raise
water bowl 4-5 inches
off the ground, or put
a ball in the bowl so
she has to drink out of
the edges.
Birds carry this disease and they get this disease by a infection that starts
in the intestines. Humans can get this disease from coming in contact with
a infected Bird. The symptoms are Cough, Diarrhea, Difficulty breathing,
Fever greater then 100.4, Headache, Malaise, Muscle Aches, Runny nose,
Sore throat. This disease is prevented by giving animals vaccinations for it
and it is virtually eliminated in humans, but there is also a vaccination for
humans.
