This review is a general discussion of common zoonotic infections of companion animals in the United States. Microbes, routes of transmission, and risks to immunocompromised persons are discussed. The primary focus of this article is dogs and cats, although zoonoses of avian, rodent, and rabbit companion animals are discussed in brief. An awareness of zoonoses will allow veterinarians and physicians to collaboratively prevent transmission and treat clinical disease in both human and veterinary patients.
本综述是对美国伴侣动物常见人畜共患感染的一般性讨论。文中讨论了微生物、传播途径以及对免疫功能低下者的风险。本文主要关注狗和猫,不过也简要讨论了鸟类、啮齿动物和兔类伴侣动物的人畜共患病。了解人畜共患病将使兽医和医生能够共同预防传播,并治疗人类和兽医患者的临床疾病。
