There is a fungal infection that may be transmitted from dogs to humans. This infection is known as ringworm and it is caused by fungi, not worms as suggested by the name. The ringworm infection is common and will manifest through itchiness, hair loss in round patches and irritated skin.
Diseases that can pass from animals to humans are called zoonotic diseases. A biggie is Salmonella sp., a bacterium that can infect any species of reptile-or other animal, for that matter. While some Salmonella bacteria are found commonly in certain species, they can pass to other types of animals.
