Summary Introduction
To answer:
Why might animal reservoirs be involved in more diseases than are human reservoirs?
Introduction:
Disease, which is transmitted through animals, is called as zoonosis. The relationship of animals and humans is inevitable. The farming livestock and pet animals make the animal and human relationship more intimate. Zoonotic disease transmission is highly possible in the case of livestock workers. Animals which serve as the source of infectious agents or pathogen are termed as a reservoir of infections.
