Zoonotic diseases (zoonoses) are infections that are spread between people and animals. These infections are caused by germs, such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi. Some can be severe and life-threatening, and others may be milder and get better on their own. The best protection against zoonoses is washing your hands with soap and running water or using hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available.
