It may cause the same disease or a different disease in other animals. Since humans do not generally inflict bite wounds on other animals, the method of transmissions is always a "soft" contact such as skin to skin transmission. An example is chytridiomycosis which can be spread by humans with the fungus on their skin handling frogs with bare hands. The reverse situation, a disease transmitted from animals to humans, is known as zoonotic. It
Motor neuron disease Motor neuron disease Motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are a group of neurodegenerative disorders that selectively affect motor neurons, the cells which control voluntary muscles of the body. Commonly, the following disorders are counted among motor neuron diseases: The term “motor neuron disease” sometimes refers to ALS, but in this article, the term refers to a group of diseases listed above, which includes ALS. Motor neuron diseases affect both children and adults. While each motor neuron disease affects patients differently, they all cause movement-related symptoms, mainly muscle weakness. Most diseases seem to occur randomly without known causes, but some forms are
