    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Public Health
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Dogs can act as reservoirs for zoonotic pathogens.
    • Undiagnosed infections in pets pose a risk to human health.
    • Epidemiological understanding is vital for disease control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the role of infected dogs in human infectious disease.
    • To emphasize the consequences of neglecting epidemiological features.
    • To advocate for preventive measures against dog-related zoonoses.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of epidemiological data on dog-to-human pathogen transmission.
    • Analysis of diagnostic and therapeutic delays.
    • Assessment of preventive strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Infected dogs, including asymptomatic carriers, contribute to human infections.
    • Lack of awareness of epidemiological factors leads to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
    • Preventive measures can significantly reduce disease incidence.

    Conclusions:

    • Educating the public on zoonotic risks is essential.
    • Regular veterinary check-ups for pets are critical for early detection.
    • Proper hygiene after animal contact is a key preventive measure.
