Zoonotic and Non-Zoonotic Diseases in Livestock

What is a zoonotic disease?

• A zoonotic disease is a disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans.

• A zoonotic disease is a disease that can be transmitted from plants to humans.

• A zoonotic disease is a disease that can be transmitted from humans to animals.

• A zoonotic disease is a disease that can only affect animals.

What are non-zoonotic diseases in livestock?

• Zoonotic diseases that only affect animals

• Non-zoonotic diseases in livestock are diseases that only affect animals and do not pose a risk to human health.

• Diseases that affect both animals and humans

• Diseases that are transmitted through direct contact with animals

How can zoonotic diseases be prevented in livestock?

• Allowing livestock to freely interact with wild animals

• Using essential oils for livestock

• Slaughtering sick animals for consumption

• Implementing biosecurity measures, proper hygiene practices, regular veterinary check-ups, vaccination programs, and controlling vectors.

Explain the concept of disease transmission between animals and humans.

• Disease transmission between animals and humans can occur through direct contact, consumption of contaminated food or water, inhalation of infectious particles, and vector-borne transmission.

• Disease transmission between animals and humans is solely through airborne transmission

• Disease transmission between animals and humans is not influenced by contaminated food or water

• Disease transmission between animals and humans only occurs through direct contact

List three common zoonotic diseases that can affect livestock.

• Tuberculosis

• Rabies

• Salmonella

• Anthrax, Brucellosis, Q Fever

Discuss the impact of zoonotic diseases on both livestock and human populations.

• Zoonotic diseases have a positive impact on livestock and human populations by increasing immunity.

• Zoonotic diseases have a detrimental impact on both livestock and human populations due to transmission of pathogens between animals and humans, leading to economic losses in agriculture and public health crises.

• Zoonotic diseases do not pose any threat to public health or agriculture.

• Zoonotic diseases only affect human populations and not livestock.

What are the symptoms of a zoonotic disease in livestock?

• Fever, coughing, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, nasal discharge, decreased appetite

• Swelling, redness, itching

• Rash, headache, joint pain

• Sneezing, vomiting, excessive thirst

Explain the importance of biosecurity measures in preventing the spread of zoonotic diseases.

• Biosecurity measures are only necessary for plant diseases

• Biosecurity measures have no impact on zoonotic diseases

• Biosecurity measures are crucial in preventing zoonotic diseases as they help control the transmission of pathogens between animals and humans.

• Zoonotic diseases are not a concern for public health

Differentiate between zoonotic and non-zoonotic diseases in terms of transmission and prevention.

• Zoonotic diseases can be transmitted from animals to humans, while non-zoonotic diseases are not. Prevention of zoonotic diseases involves good hygiene, avoiding contact with wild animals, and vaccination, while prevention of non-zoonotic diseases includes vaccination, sanitation, and proper food handling.

• Prevention of zoonotic diseases involves avoiding vaccinations, while prevention of non-zoonotic diseases does not require any preventive measures.

• Zoonotic diseases are caused by bacteria, while non-zoonotic diseases are caused by viruses.

• Zoonotic diseases are only transmitted through direct contact with animals, while non-zoonotic diseases can be transmitted through the air.
