Emergent Zoonotic Diseases

and other Wildlife Diseases

Wild animals play a crucial role in our ecosystem, but they can also carry diseases that pose risks to humans, pets, and other wildlife. This page provides valuable information about common and emergent wildlife diseases, including zoonotic diseases—those that can be transmitted from animals to humans.

 

Learn about the symptoms, transmission methods, and prevention strategies for illnesses such as rabies, avian influenza, mange, and more. Understanding these diseases not only helps protect your health but also ensures the well-being of the wildlife you may encounter.
