• Description:
  An estimated 450,000 enteric illnesses, 5,000 hospitalizations, and 76 deaths associated with animal contact occur each year in the United States. Enteric illnesses are diseases that affect the stomach or intestines and cause symptoms, such as diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting, and are typically transmitted from animals to humans through the fecal–oral route. Humans might encounter animal feces or bodily fluids through contact with the animal itself, the animal’s environment, or the animal’s food or water. Although outbreak-associated illnesses account for a small subset of all enteric illnesses linked to animal contact, data obtained from outbreak surveillance offer insights into the underlying epidemiologic factors contributing to illnesses, including the pathogens, animals, pathogen–animal category pairs, and settings of outbreaks associated with animal contact.
