Although zoonotic diseases are generally rare in Canada, a wide range of pathogens can be transmitted from animal reservoirs to humans through insect vectors or direct contact with wild and domestic animals. Across the country researchers with backgrounds ranging from wildlife biology to parasitology and epidemiology are tracking a variety of zoonotic diseases, some of which are causing increasing concern among public health officials.
虽然人畜共患疾病在加拿大总体上较为罕见，但多种病原体可通过昆虫媒介或与野生动物和家畜的直接接触，从动物宿主传播给人类。在全国各地，从野生动物生物学到寄生虫学和流行病学等背景的研究人员正在追踪各种人畜共患疾病，其中一些疾病日益引起公共卫生官员的关注。
