the transfer of infectious diseases
direct contact
A negative product of the Columbian Exchange was the transfer of diseases
Yes, they could, ferrets are very susceptible to illness and disease.
Yes. There is a whole "family" of diseases that can be spread by sexual contact. Google "sexually transmitted diseases" for more detailed information.
Yes, bacteria and other pathogens can be transferred from any bodily fluid.
They can transfer a lot of diseases and viruses that are only transferred by blood, such as HIV and AIDS
No, rabbits do not carry any diseases that they can transfer to you unless they are rabid which is highly unlikely.
Diseases rarely transfer from one animal species to another. Such diseases that do transfer are called Zoonotic Diseases. While it may be possible for a human to contract one of a couple of zoonotic diseases that affect humans and horses (like West Nile) it is extremely unlikely. Veterinarians and breeding managers routinely handle horse semen as part of their jobs. If you get to close, then probably yes. Stay well back whilst the mare and stallion are in progress.........
Starlings transfer diseases, disrupt food chains, and contribute to engine failures.
