Investigation of the prevalence and risk factors of zoonotic diseases in pet owners.

Project Abstract

Zoonotic diseases are infections that can be transmitted between animals and humans. With the increasing number of households owning pets, the risk of zoonotic diseases affecting pet owners is a growing concern. This research project aims to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of zoonotic diseases in pet owners. The study will focus on identifying the most common zoonotic diseases that can be transmitted from pets to humans and determining the factors that contribute to their transmission.
