Zoonotic Diseases

Environmental Health

Zoonotic diseases are infections that are spread between people and animals. Investigations are conducted when zoonotic disease infections are identified so epidemiologists can identify and eliminate or control the source. This also allows for targeting of public education and information efforts.
