Yes animals are affected by the disease e-coli and they can easily transmit e-coli to humans.To reduce chances of getting e-coli from animals, wash hands thoroughly with water and disinfectant soap. Animals such as Cattle, Cows, and Reptiles are prone to transmitting e-coli to humans especially children under the age of 5 so you should be extremely cautious with young children around the animals noted above or their manure! :) Hope this helps xxx
