Hepatitis disease transmission speed 4 times faster than HIV disease. Transmission of hepatitis disease transmission through blood flow, placenta babies for pregnant mothers as well as body fluids such as semen, vaginal, and saliva.

People affected by hepatitis, his heart will be broken. Her stomach was enlarged, vomiting, diarrhea and yellowish skin. Liver remove toxins that have been destroyed by this virus, as a result of death threats hepatitis patients.

Besides humans animals can also become infected and transmit the disease through droppings TB. If the infected animal feces were inhaled by humans will be humans opened up opportunities are also infected with TB disease. Tuberculosis disease is chronic or chronic running, so that new clinical symptoms appear if it is severe.

Animals that have great potential to infect human tuberculosis is the primates, such as orangutans, gibbons and siamang.

Rabies

Deadly disease caused by this virus is also known as hydrophobia. Disease that attacks the central nervous system can be transmitted to humans through animal bites. Animal bite cases spreaders of rabies are dogs (90%), cats (3%), monkey (3%) and other animals (1%).

Symptoms are caused when infected with rabies, first of all abnormal behavior and is very sensitive (easily upset), paralysis and convulsions in the limbs. Patients will die because of difficulty in breathing and swallowing within 2-10 days.

Wormwood

Worms are often considered a mild disease, but the biggest cause of death of animals kept by humans in a bad condition is the disease. Stress can increase the number of worm infection in the body. With a very small size of 0,01-0,1 mm, very facilitate for the parasite transmitted to all animals including humans.

Diarrhea, thin bodies, lack of fluids (dehydration), anemia and weak body is that early symptoms of an infection caused by worms. Seizures in all limbs, abdomen enlarged and hard because of the heaps of gas (bloating) is a sign that the poison had spread throughout the body.

Transmission of infectious diseases are transmitted through the placenta to the baby in the womb of pregnant women. The way the last transmission is through blood transfusions.

Psitacosis

Although there has been no reports of cases of Psittacosis diseases suffered by humans but the disease spread by the parrot (parrots and cockatoos) can cause respiratory problems. Transmitted through bird droppings can then be inhaled by humans.

Caused clinical symptoms include respiratory problems ranging from shortness of breath until the inflammation in the respiratory tract, diarrhea, tremors and weakness in limbs. Condition will get worse if the person is in a state of stress and a shortage of food nutrition.

Salmonellosis

Salmonella bacteria enter the patient's body through food or beverages contaminated with this bacteria. The effects when infected with Salmonella bacteria is an inflammation of the digestive tract until the destruction of the intestinal wall. As a result patients will experience diarrhea, which entered the nutrients in the body can not be absorbed properly, so people will look weak and skinny. Toxins produced by the bacterium Salmonella causes brain damage, even the female reproductive organs that are pregnant may also experience a miscarriage.

Animals that can transmit salmonella illness include primates, iguanas, snakes, and birds.

Leptospirosis

Disease caused by a type of bacteria is attacking all types of animals including humans. Organs most preferred by the bacteria to flourish is the kidneys and reproductive organs. Transmission of the disease originated from the open wounds and contaminated with urine or fluid from the reproductive organs. Even the food or drink contaminated also caused infection in the body.

Symptoms are easily observed when infected with this disease is the urine turns red because of kidney patients bleed. Also the head will experience tremendous pain, depression, weak body and even pregnant women will also experience a miscarriage.
