FoodCORE Success Story : Investigating Zoonotic Outbreaks

Details

• Corporate Authors:
  National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (U.S.). Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases.
• Description:
  Many people enjoy interacting with animals. In fact, most US households own at least one pet. However, pet owners should be aware that their animal companions may carry germs (bacteria) that can make them sick. The diseases that are shared between animals and people are known as zoonotic diseases. It is hard to know which animals could be carrying zoonotic diseases, especially since animals carrying germs often look and act healthy and normal. FoodCORE centers work to quickly detect, investigate, respond to, and control zoonotic outbreaks, just as they do with other enteric disease outbreaks.
