Zoonotic diseases are illnesses that are spread to humans from animals and insects, such as Rabies, West Nile Virus, Hantavirus, Q Fever, and Salmonellosis. GCHD staff work to prevent the occurrence and spread of zoonotic diseases through educating the public and providing consultation to people about potential disease-carrying animals and insects, and conducting investigations and surveillance to identify the presence and source of zoonotic diseases.
