Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zoonotic diseases are caused by pathogens that can be transferred from animals to humans through direct contact or by means of a vector, such as a mosquito or tick. Suborganismal pathogens such as viruses, viroids, and prions are only one type of pathogen that can cause zoonotic diseases, but not the sole cause. Zoonotic diseases can be spread through direct contact with animals, but they can also be spread through contaminated food or water, or through intermediate hosts such as rodents.
