Pets can be a source of disease (zoonoses) for humans. The disease risks associated with pet contact are highest among young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and immunocompromised hosts. These individuals and household members display limited knowledge of pet-associated disease, rarely recall receipt of pet-associated disease information, and report pet ownership practices that are often at odds with established disease prevention recommendations. Veterinary staff are in a key position to promote safe pet ownership and contact practices. Encouraging and safeguarding client disclosure of immunocompromising health conditions and promoting veterinarian-physician communications are critical for effectively providing this service.
宠物可能成为人类疾病（人畜共患病）的传染源。在幼儿、老年人、孕妇和免疫功能低下者中，与宠物接触相关的疾病风险最高。这些人和家庭成员对与宠物相关疾病的了解有限，很少记得收到过与宠物相关疾病的信息，并且报告的养宠行为往往与既定的疾病预防建议不符。兽医工作人员在促进安全养宠和接触行为方面处于关键地位。鼓励并保障客户披露免疫功能低下的健康状况，以及促进兽医与医生之间的沟通，对于有效提供这项服务至关重要。
