Hantavirus is a life-threatening disease transmitted by rodents, particularly deer mice. The virus is found in rodent urine and feces, but it does not make the host animal sick. It is believed that humans can become sick if they come in contact with contaminated dust from mice nests or droppings.
Chickens cause serious infections in humans. Intestinal bacteria from poultry can infect humans and cause urinary tract infections. A new study looks into disease transmission from animals to humans in a world of increasing antibiotic resistance. Chickens can infect humans with bacteria that cause urinary tract infections and in some cases heart valve infections. There is a growing concern in the international science community for potentially resistant bacteria that are transmitted from animals to humans.
