PART TWO D DANGEROUS INFECTIOUS ANIMAL DISEASES ZOONOSIS
ZOONOSIS What’s Zoonosis ? Zoonosis is an infection or infestation shared in natureby humans and animals. Zoonoses- transmission of the infectious agent to humans from an ongoing reservoir life cycle in animals, without the permanent establishment of a new life cycle in humans. Animals raised on farms that are well managed (good housing, hygienic conditions , and balanced diet) on most occasions are free of zoonotic diseases that occur naturally in animals
ZOONOSIS Zoonotic agents (bacteria, viruses, and parasites) • Zoonotic agents prevalent in few animal operations (< 5%) • Leptospira • Coxiella brunetii • Zoonotic agents prevalent in many animal operations (1-50%) • Salmonella • Campylobacter • Listeria monocytogenes • Clostridial spp. • Path. Escherichia coli • Cryptospordia • Zoonotic agents ALMOST non existent in animal operations • Brucella spp. • Tuberculosis
Waterborne Zoonoses Pathogens • Cryptosporidium • Giardia • E. Coli 0157:H7 • Salmonella • Leptospiria • Toxoplasma • Campylobacter • Entamoeba • Ascarsis • Viruses and Prions? SARS?
Most Common Foodborne Pathogens • Campylobacter • Salmonella • E. coli 0157:H7 • Yersinia • Listeria • Cryptosporidium • Cyclospora • Norwalk-like viruses
How do human beings become infected ? Bhushan Jayarao Extension Veterinarian Department of Veterinary SciencePennsylvania State University, University Park Direct Contact Indirect Contact feces urine blood saliva
Horses, asses, zebras (Equidae) • Actinobacillus spp. • Anthrax • Brucellosis • Cryptosporidiosis • Equine morbillivirus • Glanders • Leptospirosis • Rabies • Salmonellosis • Yersiniosis Bhushan Jayarao Extension Veterinarian Department of Veterinary SciencePennsylvania State University, University Park

Diseases Acquired From Rabbits and Hares • Brucella suis biotype 2 • Cheyletiella infestation • Francisella tularensis • Plague • Q-fever • Trichophyton mentagrophytes
Anthrax: The Agent • Bacillus anthracis– Gram positive spore-forming bacteria • Forms spores • Human disease • Skin • Intestinal • Pulmonary • Animal disease • Septicemia and rapid death
Tularemia: The Agent • Francisella tularensis • Transmitted by ingestion, inhalation, vectors, direct contact through skin • Six clinical forms in humans Glandular Ulceroglandular
Tularemia: The Agent • Sheep, young pigs, horses, dogs, cats • Sudden fever, lethargy, stiffness, prostration, and death • Wildlife • Usually find dead • Rabbits behave strangely • Cattle, older pigs resistant
Brucellosis: The Agent • Gram-negative bacteria • Ingestion, inhalation, or direct contact • Clinical signs • Humans: cyclic fever and flu-like symptoms • Animals: reproductive signs
Glanders: The Agent • Burkholderia mallei: Gram-negative • Transmission by ingestion, inhalation, or direct contact • Animal-to-human transmission is inefficient • Clinical signs • Humans & horses: cutaneous & pulmonary lesions, rapidly fatal illness
Rabies Common Carriers Cats Dogs Raccoons Skunks Bats Foxes
Transmission Animal Bite Contact with infected tissue, fluids or feces Clinical presentation Fever Headache Agitation Confusion Seizures Excessive salivation Rabies
Psittacosis Common Carriers Pigeons Parrots Turkeys Parakeets
Transmission Inhalation from infected birds Carcasses Secretions Contaminated facilities Clinical presentation Fever Headache Pneumonia Psittacosis
Toxoplasmosis Common carriers Cats Sheep
Transmission Ingestion of infected meats Fecal contaminated soil Clinical Presentation Fever Swollen nodes Abortion Still-birth Mental retardation Toxoplasmosis
Scabies Common Carriers Dogs Raccoons
Transmission Direct contact with infected animals Clinical presentation Itching skin lesions Scabies
Primarily affects people who workwith animals or animal products (slaughterhouse workers, veterinarians, farmers, dairy workers) Four different species of Brucella are known to infect humans Brucella sp.
Species Animal reservoir • B. abortus Cattle • B. suis Swine Goats and sheep • B. melitensis • B. canis Dogs Brucella reservoir
Morphology & physiology • Fastidious & aerobic • Facultative intracellular • Gram negative • non motile cocobacilli
Brucellosis in animals • Transmitted by contact with infected tissue or milk (oral, aerosol or abrasion) • Predilection for erythritol rich organs (breast, uterus, epididymis, ect.) • Abortions, mastitis and sterility
Brucellosis in humans • Skin abrasion, conjunctivae, inhalation or ingestion • Engulfed by neutrophils and monocytes (resistant to killing) • Localize regional lymph nodes • Infect phagocytic cells in the RE system and form granulomas
Symptoms • Aches, chills, fever (undulating) • Drenching sweating • Fatigue, myalgia, muscle weakness • Relapse common
Diagnosis • Symptoms and history • Blood culture on enriched media (slow: 4-6 weeks) • Organisms grow very slowly (6 weeks) • Serology (titer >640) • Skin test with brucellergin - delayed-type
Treatment • Prolonged use (several months) of rifampin with tetracycline or streptomycin
Escherichia coli O157:H7 • Bacteria:Facultative anaerobic,motile or nonmotile GNR • Source:Intestines of animals and poultry • Illness:Hemorrhagic colitis (HC), hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) • Symptoms:(HC) diarrhea & vomiting, HUS) diarrhea & acute renal failure, TTP) diarrhea, GI hemorrhage, blood clots in brain
Escherichia coli O157:H7 • Foods:Meat, poultry, potatoes, raw milk • Transmission:Cross-contamination, sewage pollution of coastal waters • Control:Proper cooking, temperature control, preventing cross-contamination, proper personal hygiene
Salmonella spp. • Bacteria: Facultative anaerobic, motile, GNR • Source: Intestine of mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles • Illness: Infection (gastroenteritis) • Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, fever
Salmonella spp. Foods: Poultry, poultry salads, meats, dairy products, egg products Transmission: Cross-contamination, human contamination, sewage pollution of coastal waters Control: Proper cooking, temperature, preventing cross-contamination, personal hygiene
How does Salmonella gain access to a farm ? Most important sources of infection Replacement calves trucks heifer/ cows birds /pests feed water visitors Bhushan Jayarao Extension Veterinarian Department of Veterinary SciencePennsylvania State University, University Park
Personal hygiene practices on farm for preventing illnesses Wash hands with soap and waterbefore and after: 1. Attending sick animals 2. Handling animals 3. Manure handling Dress and boots 1. Change into farm boots on the farm 2. Wash farm boots regularly 3. Leave farm boots on the farm 4. Wash and disinfect farm clothes IF available: shower before leaving the farm Avoid drinking and eating on animal housing units Bhushan Jayarao Extension Veterinarian Department of Veterinary SciencePennsylvania State University, University Park
