Tracking and
mapping animal diseases is important in monitoring both
animal and human health. Some diseases, such as rabies, may
be transmitted from animals to people and pets with serious
consequences.
Other diseases, such as the fungal infection
coccidioidomycosis, are not passed from animals to people,
but both can become infected from inhaling the dust that
contains the fungus.
There are other diseases, such as heartworm infection, that
do not infect people, but are important to track as they may
be increasing and infecting local animals.
This data is intended to be a useful reference for local
veterinarians, physicians and the general
public.
