Animal Diseases
Animal diseases are a broad range of medical conditions that can affect domestic animals, wildlife and livestock. Diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites can cause a variety of physical and mental symptoms, such as fever, seizures, blindness, and an overall decrease in the animal's health. Animal diseases can be highly contagious, spread from animal to animal and even to humans, making them a public health concern. Animal diseases can be treated through vaccinations and medications, as well as preventative measures such as improved sanitation and improved animal husbandry. Vaccines and treatments have greatly reduced the occurrence and spread of many animal diseases and have resulted in improved animal health and welfare, as well as increased economic stability around the world.
