Roth, DVM, PhD, DACVM Gregory C. Gray, MD, MPH, FIDSA Bruce Kaplan, DVM Companion animals play an important role in the lives of humans. In addition to companionship, the human-animal bond can enhance human health and quality of life in many positive ways. Interactions can have human health implications, if proper preventive measures are not taken. Bites, scratches, and zoonotic diseases – diseases transmissible between animals and humans – may be possible. This textbook was developed to help human and veterinary healthcare professionals and students enhance their knowledge of zoonotic diseases, especially those associated with companion animal species. Partnerships between human, veterinary and public health professionals are needed to raise awareness, enhance detection, and promote prevention for zoonotic diseases to protect the health of humans and pets. The textbook also provides educational materials to educate clients, patients and staff on the risks and prevention of zoonotic diseases.
