Zoonoses

Zoonoses

Zoonotic diseases are those that can be transmitted from animals to humans.

Although there are a variety of zoonotic agents in addition to the Herpes B-virus that staff working in this environment should be aware of, it is more likely for a person to injure or contaminate themselves from an experiment mishap in the lab than to contract a disease from an animal.

For additional information please visit Laboratory Animal Resource Center (LARC)
