People who raise animals are not the only ones who need to be concerned about diseases that can easily spread between humans and animals. These types of diseases are called zoonotic diseases, and anyone who encounters animals could be at risk. The best way to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases is by having and using a plan that reduces the risk of disease transmission. This is known as biosecurity and it is an important step to making sure people and animals remain healthy. On this website, you can find resources to create a biosecurity program, and materials for educating youth and adults about zoonotic diseases.
