Question

A ________ is a disease that primarily infects animals but can be transmitted to humans.
A) nosocomial infection
B) zoonosis
C) vector infection
D) mudurane

Accepted Answer

A zoonosis, also known as zoonotic disease, is a disease caused by infectious agents (such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites) that can be transmitted from animals to humans. The disease primarily affects animals but can be transmitted to humans through direct contact or contaminated food, water, or soil. Examples of zoonotic diseases include rabies, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus. Nosocomial infection refers to infections that are acquired in a hospital, whereas vector infections are those transmitted by an insect or other arthropod. There is no such thing as a mudurane infection.
