Risks of Pet-Transmitted Diseases Highlighted

Russian scientists from Perm National Research University identified the most dangerous diseases that can be transmitted from pets to humans, including serious infections and parasites affecting health.

One of the most dangerous types of infections caused by the pathogen of the parasite called pasteurella is sepsis, which leads to liver, heart, and tissue damage. However, it is difficult to diagnose this disease, as its symptoms resemble viral hepatitis. Specialists note that domestic animals can also transmit the virus responsible for the fatal pasteurellosis in dogs, for which until now there is no effective treatment. The most common parasites are different species of roundworms, the presence of which in the organism weakens the immune system and can cause various types of allergies. Among the pathogens caused by parasites, three should be highlighted: trypanosomiasis, schistosomiasis, and others. Individuals of hookworms can invade the eyes, brain, lungs, and liver, which can lead to the rupture of internal organs and nanobiotic irreversible harm. Additional parasites also pose a risk of causing diseases known as pyroplasm, leading to the destruction of blood cells, similar to the action of cancer. Researchers from the Perm National Research Technical University have identified the most dangerous for humans infections caused by parasites from domestic animals. According to their research, from cats and dogs, humans can contract a whole range of infectious diseases. Bacteria of the genus pasteurella and ascarids can cause cough and inflammation in the lungs when they enter them. Adult roundworms can fill the intestines, depriving the organism of essential nutrients and depriving it of necessary nutrients. Taenia solium, caused by taeniasis, is capable of surrounding itself with a sac up to 10 centimeters in diameter. Toxoplasmosis presents a significant risk for pregnant women, as the fetus of a pregnant woman can be infected with infections that are detrimental to health. Researchers also indicate that even insignificant, although non-dangerous, tapeworms, caused by cats, can become entry points for bacteria causing bacterial infections of pasteurellosis, manifested in rashes on the skin.
