    Study Notes

    Zoonoses

    • Zoonoses are diseases and infections that are naturally transmitted between vertebrate animals and humans.
    • There are over 200 known types of zoonoses.
    • Zoonoses comprise a large percentage of new and existing diseases in humans.

    Transmission of Zoonoses

    • Transmission of infection requires three elements: a source of pathogens, a susceptible host, and a means of transmission for the microorganism.
    • Transmission can occur through:
      • Direct contact with the animal.
      • Vector (such as fleas or tick).
      • Food or water contamination.

    Types of Zoonoses

    Reverse Zoonoses

    • Reverse zoonoses: Infectious disease of people occasionally transferred to animals and then transferred back to people.
    • This type of transmission occurs when an infection is transferred from humans to animals and then back to humans.

    Direct Zoonoses

    • Direct zoonoses are transmitted from an infected vertebrate host to a susceptible vertebrate host.
    • Transmission occurs through:
      • Direct physical contact with an animal.
      • Vehicle or mechanical vector.
    • Only a single vertebrate species is required to perpetuate this infection cycle.
