Zoonotic pathogens may be bacterial, viral or parasitic, or may involve unconventional agents and can spread to humans through direct contact or through food, water or the environment. 

In this video, Alex Wade will explore:

  • Commonly encountered diseases to man and companion animals
  • Mechanisms of transmission
  • The importance of the correct PPE.

Information is correct at the time of filming.
