Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) disease is caused by infection with the larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis, a ~1-4 millimeter long tapeworm found in foxes, coyotes, and dogs (definitive hosts).Small rodents are intermediate hosts for E. multilocularis.lthough cases of AE in animals in endemic areas are relatively common, human cases are rare. AE poses a much greater health threat to people than CE, causing parasitic tumors that can form in the liver, lungs, brain, and other organs. If left untreated, AE can be fatal.
Aleutians Disease is a form of parvovirus that is highly contagious from ferret to ferret. The disease causes gastrointestinal and neurological problems and is usually fatal within 6 months. Aleutians is not the same parvo that cats and dogs get, so the diseases is not contagious to or from these other household pets.almonella can easily be caught by both humans and ferrets; this disease causes severe gastrointestinal upset. Salmonella can be transmitted by reptiles. Do not feed your ferrets raw eggs or raw chicken, which both carry salmonella.
