Human animal Bond |
Positive benefits of human-animal interactions, Such contact may lower blood pressure, decrease stress, foster socialization, and prolong survival following catastrophic disease. These interactions also present opportunities for disease transmission. There are 1,407 recognized species of human pathogens, 58% of which are zoonotic. Of this total, 177 (13%) are considered emerging or re-emerging. |

The mode of transmission |
It varies with the pathogen, species, and circumstances. Enteric pathogens are transmitted primarily by the fecal-oral route. Exposure to pathogens may occur by ingestion of contaminated food or contact with contaminated saliva, skin, fur, or environmental surfaces. Pathogens may be airborne (eg, tuberculosis), waterborne (eg, Campylobacter), or may require direct contact (eg, ringworm) or injection via a bite, scratch, or wound (eg, rabies). |

Facility based risk factors |
1) poor animal husbandry practices such as inadequate nutrition, hygiene, or preventive health care, 2) poor facility design for traffic flow between animal and non-animal (especially food vendor) areas, 3) lack of adequate hand-washing facilities, 4) poor choice of contact species, 5) inadequate environmental cleanliness, and 6) lack of staff or public education.
