Dogs can certainly carry staph infections. This then means that dogs can definitely carry the staph infection and pass it to humans.

What are nucleic acids used for?
nucleic acids have the nucleotide base pair sequence which has a sugar and a phosphate backbone which are the building blocks of nucleic acids. which in turn constitutes our DNA. It has many uses as it has DNA which is considered as a hereditary material of humans and its proportion is maintained same in all the offsprings. Nucleic acids like DNA and RNA carry genetic instructions for making proteins and pass that information on to the next generation.
Do the arteries carry blood rich in food and oxygen?
Yes. Oxygen directly, the veins get the food first but it must pass through the lungs and the heart to get to the arteries (and thence to the cells).
What is the pattern of sex linked inheritance?
In humans sex linked traits are passed on the X chromosome. (For the purpose of this discussion the trait being passed is recessive.) This means that a male parent cannot pass the characteristic on to his male offspring, but he can pass the trait on to his female offspring. The female parent can pass the trait on to any of her offspring. Both parents must carry the allele for the sex-linked trait (and pass it on) in order for a female child to have the characteristic. Male children that get the trait from their mother will have the trait no matter what the genetics of the father. If the female parent is heterozygous for the trait 50% of her male children will have the characteristic no matter the father's genetics for that trait. Assuming that the characteristic is not lethal and both parents are "carriers" (keep in mind that the father displays the trait and a heterozygous mother will not)... 50% of the sons will have the trait, 50% of the sons will not have the trait, 50% of the daughters will be homozygous for the trait and 50% will by heterozygous "carriers".

What diseases do crickets carry?

Can humans get staph infection from dogs?
No and yes. Viruses no, bacteria and some parasites yes. There are some zoonic diseases that can pass from people to animals, but they are severe illnesses. Like avian influenza etc. Things like ringworm, humans can pass to an animal. If you are sick with a viral infection, its highly unlikely that its a zoonic virus.Parasites. Some parasites, coccidia for one, can pass from humans to dogs, and vice versa. You'd have to have direct contact with feces, and then some opening on your body to pass them. From Scott: That's not a great answer. The question was specifically about staph infections. A staph (pronounced STAFF) infection is not caused by a virus. It is caused by a bacteria called staphylocaccus aureus which is carried by about 25% of humans. Infection can result from contact with unwashed surfaces where feces are present. Symptoms can include fever and rash, but once this bacteria takes hold in the body there is a good chance that the most obvious symptom will be a boil (furuncle). These may clear up on their own or may be treated with hot compresses to relieve swelling and facilitate healing, or may require surgical incision (lancing) to relieve the pressure. Most often, treatment will require anti-biotics (penicillin or sulfa) to rid the body of the infection completely.Avian influenza (bird flu) has absolutely nothing to do with this topic. In fact, to bring it into the discussion is not only irrelevant, but is nothing short of irresponsible fear-mongering.Most places likely for your dog to get staff is from Kennels, Dog Parks, Grooming businesses/kennels. The reason being: Many dogs are sheltered in a closed environment and if not cleaned properly, the staff infection lodges onto the coat or if your dog has a small cut or scrape it will manifest there until someone or something else comes in contact with it. Dogs are also known to always be licking to which the virus can be also passed on.
Can dogs contract meningitis from other dogs?
Cases of meningitis in dogs are usually caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa or rickettsia. Other causes, such as chemical agents, are not as common, according to the Merck Veterinary Manual.

Dogs that are most commonly infected with canine valley fever are puppies, older dogs and dogs with compromised immune systems.

They get by breathing in the spores just as in humans.
