Abstract:
The transmission of bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic agents from vertebrate animals to humans constitutes a group of diseases called zoonoses. The frequency of these zoonoses is increasing, and new zoonoses are emerging due to travel, factory farming, biodiversity loss, climate change, and deforestation. These diseases have a significant impact on public health, both human and animal, as well as on food, environmental management and the economy. This second article reviews the viral, fungal, and parasitic zoonoses with cutaneous manifestations, known as dermato-zoonoses.
