Introduction

Dogs have physical, social and emotional well-being of their owner, particularly children [1,2]. There are approximately 1415 pathogens known to affect humans, of which about 61% of all human pathogens are zoonotic [3].

There are 40,000 to 70,000 estimated deaths worldwide due to rabies yearly and an estimated 10 million people receive prophylaxis [4]. Canine scabies, causing scabies is the most important zoonotic arthropod in Bangladesh [5]. Biting by some animals during walking on road in dark or in house by pet this incidents are happened. Snake bites are very common in village area. In dark during walking sometime shrew bites people but people seem that are snake. Try to see those animals which have bitten you. If venomous snakes bite this is dangerous, in this case should provide that patient to nearest hospital. Both cat and dog carries rabies virus. If these animals bite or scratch on skin rabbies vaccine is must. Rat bite nothing happens worse just washes that place under tapwater. When people pet parakeets sometimes they face bite by them. Its fruit eating type beak (curved beak) is more powerful for the swelling. Its bite make deep hole on skin and slight bleeding may appear. Wild carnivorous animals take rotten or dirty food so its claw, mouth and body carry huge microbes which may fatal for human. If you have pet animals need to apply pre-exposure vaccine. Most of the countries, they give vaccine in pet animals. Monkeys are rabid animal. Nipah virus was found in peninsular Malaysia in 1999, when intensive pig farming began on the habitat of infected fruit bats. Similarly, in recent times avian influenza has spilled over into human populations. This study was undertaken at the medical centre of cantonment school in addition zoonotic diseases for determining their current status and risk for human health.

Common Animals’ Bite in Our Daily Life Which is Related to Zoonosis

Summary
Zoonotic transmission can occur in any pet animals, farm animals, during slaughtering, hunting, and in research on vaccines. Some common foods are linked to zoonotic contaminations include egg, seafood, meat, dairy, and even some vegetables.

Glanders primarily affects those who work stable and close with horses and donkeys. Cow can lead to cutaneous anthrax for the cowbodys. Pets can also transmit ringworm. Filariasis is caused by Wuchereria bancrofti through mosquitoes infected by mammals like dogs and cats. Toxocariasis is infection of humans of any of species of roundworm, including species specific to the dog (Toxocara canis) or the cat (Toxocara cati). Handling of infected animals, ingestion of contaminated food/water, inhalation of infective aerosols and arthropod bites (ticks and insects) are the causes for zoonotic diseases [6,7].
