Dogs are a major reservoir for zoonotic infections. Dogs transmit several viral and bacterial diseases to humans. Zoonotic diseases can be transmitted to human by infected saliva, aerosols, contaminated urine or feces and direct contact with the dog. Viral infections such as rabies and norovirus and bacterial infections including Pasteurella, Salmonella, Brucella, Yersinia enterocolitica, Campylobacter, Capnocytophaga, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Coxiella burnetii, Leptospira, Staphylococcus intermedius and Methicillin resistance staphylococcus aureus are the most common viral and bacterial zoonotic infections transmitted to humans by dogs. This review, focused on the mentioned infectious diseases by describing general information, signs and symptoms, transmission ways, prevention and treatment of the infection. As far as the infections are concerned, the increase of the knowledge and the awareness of dog owners and the general population regarding zoonotic infections could significantly mitigate zoonoses transmission and consequently their fatal complications.
狗是人畜共患感染的主要宿主。狗会将多种病毒和细菌疾病传播给人类。人畜共患疾病可通过受感染的唾液、气溶胶、受污染的尿液或粪便以及与狗的直接接触传播给人类。病毒感染如狂犬病和诺如病毒，以及细菌感染包括巴斯德氏菌、沙门氏菌、布鲁氏菌、小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌、弯曲杆菌、二氧化碳嗜纤维菌、支气管败血波氏杆菌、伯氏考克斯氏体、钩端螺旋体、中间葡萄球菌和耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌是狗传播给人类的最常见的病毒和细菌人畜共患感染。本综述通过描述上述传染病的一般信息、体征和症状、传播途径、预防和治疗来聚焦这些传染病。就这些感染而言，狗主人和普通民众关于人畜共患感染的知识和意识的提高可以显著减轻人畜共患病的传播以及随之而来的致命并发症。
