| Dog bite |
In the United States approximately two-thirds of animal bites, or 4.5 million, are dog bites.
Bites from dogs and cats and other animals can result in serious injuries and infections.
Almost one in five persons bitten requires medical attention.
Among children animal bite injuries are highest in the 5 – 9 year old age group. Contact your healthcare provider if an animal bite occurs to ensure proper care.

Risks can be Rabies,tetanus or epidermic wound
Anisakiasis is an infection with the marine fish Anisakis roundworm (Anisakis simplex). People can get infected when they ingest the immature stages of the worm (larvae) in raw or undercooked infected fish in dishes such as sushi, sashimi, ceviche, and pickled herring. Symptoms usually occur within hours of eating and may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. If the larvae pass into the bowel, symptoms mimicking Crohn's disease may occur after 1-2 weeks.
Avian (or bird) flu refers to a disease caused by avian influenza (flu) viruses that occur naturally among birds. Currently, scientists are concerned that an avian influenza virus (known as H5N1) that is sickening poultry and some wild birds in many parts of the world might become easily transmissible among people. Since it would be a new virus to people, no one would be immune, and a pandemic could occur. Human influenza pandemics have happened several times in the 20th century, including 1918, 1957, and 1968.

Abelson murine leukemia virus
The Abelson murine leukemia virus (Ab-MLV, A-MuLV) is a retrovirus (Class VI) used to induce transformation of murine lymphoid cells. As a retrovirus, it has a single-stranded, positive sense RNA genome which replicates via a DNA intermediate mediated by a reverse transcriptase.
It is a quite common condition in cattle, where it is referred to as lumpy jaw (English) or senfed (moroccan arabic).
Alcelaphine herpesvirus 2
Alcelaphine herpesvirus 2 is a type of rhadinovirus that is believed to be responsible for causing hartebeest infections of malignant catarrhal fever.
Aleutian Disease
Aleutian Disease (also ADV, for Aleutian Disease Virus) or Mink Plasmacytosis is a highly contagious parvovirus affecting mustelids, causing spontaneous abortion and death in minks and ferrets.
Alopecia in animals
Alopecia is a disease which can affect animals, as well as humans. Development of alopecia in animals is usually the sign of an underlying disease. Some animals may be genetically predisposed to hair loss, while in some it may be caused by hypersensitivity or nutritional factors. Canine pinnal alopecia is most common in dachshunds, but others, such as Chihuahuas, Boston Terriers, Whippets and Italian Greyhounds, may also be vulnerable.
Anthroponotic disease
An anthroponotic disease, or anthroponosis, is an infectious disease in which a disease causing agent carried by humans is transferred to other animals.
Anthrax
Anthrax is an acute, and generally fatal, disease caused by a germ known as the Bacillus anthracis. Human beings and all species of animals are liable to contract it. As a rule, cattle are the farm animals most frequently affected in Great Britain. At times, however, there may be more outbreaks in pigs than in cattle.

Aujeszkys disease
Aujeszky's disease is also known as pseudorabies, in which form it was first noticed in cattle in the United States of America in 1813. The first case of Aujeszky's disease in Great Britain was in 1979, the last in 1989.
