Where do ringworm come from and how can it be prevented?

What are three examples of zoonosis?
Zoonosis refers to diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. Three examples include rabies, which is typically spread through bites from infected animals; Lyme disease, transmitted by ticks that feed on infected animals; and avian influenza, which can be contracted from contact with infected birds. These diseases highlight the importance of monitoring animal health to prevent potential outbreaks in human populations.
Why can't rabies be contained?
Rabies is transmitted primarily by animals, and infected animals usually do not show symptoms until long after their first exposure. These factors make it very hard to track.

How was the first person infected by Ebola?
The first person infected by Ebola is believed to have contracted the virus through contact with infected animals, such as fruit bats, which are considered natural hosts of the virus. In the initial outbreak in 1976 in Sudan and Zaire, the first cases were traced back to individuals who had close contact with these animals or their bodily fluids. Subsequent human-to-human transmission occurred through direct contact with infected bodily fluids of those showing symptoms. Understanding the zoonotic origins of Ebola is crucial for preventing future outbreaks.
How can a person acquire leptospirosis?
A person can acquire leptospirosis through exposure to water or soil contaminated with the urine of infected animals, particularly rodents. This can occur through direct contact with the contaminated environment, such as wading in water or handling infected animals. Additionally, the bacteria can enter the body through cuts or mucous membranes, increasing the risk of infection. Activities such as farming, swimming in lakes, or working in wet environments can heighten exposure risks.
How is bacteria transmitted?
Bacteria can be transmitted through direct contact with infected individuals, ingestion of contaminated food or water, inhalation of respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing, or contact with contaminated surfaces. It can also be transmitted through insect bites or exposure to infected animals.
Can reptiles get rabbies?
