    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Gastrointestinal infections are a global concern affecting both humans and animals.
    • Pets, specifically dogs and cats, can harbor various pathogens.
    • Zoonotic diseases, transmissible from animals to humans, pose a significant public health risk.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and discuss zoonotic agents originating from the gastrointestinal tracts of dogs and cats.
    • To differentiate between proved, suspected, and potential zoonotic transmissions from pets.
    • To inform about the risks of infectious gastrointestinal diseases transmitted from pets to people.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of scientific literature on gastrointestinal pathogens in dogs and cats.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of transmission routes and disease potential in humans.
  • Categorization of agents as proved, suspected, or possible zoonoses.

    • Main Results:

    • Several etiologic agents, including Salmonella spp., Campylobacter jejuni, Yersinia enterocolitica, Cryptosporidia, Strongyloides stercoralis, and Echinococcus granulosa, have the potential for pet-to-human transmission.
    • Some agents are proved zoonoses, while others are suspected or possible.
    • The gastrointestinal tract of pets is a reservoir for various zoonotic agents.

    Conclusions:

    • Infectious gastrointestinal diseases from pets represent a notable zoonotic risk.
    • Awareness and understanding of these agents are crucial for public health.
    • Further research and surveillance are needed to manage and prevent zoonotic transmissions.
