Zoonotic diseases are those diseases that are transferred from animals to humans. Several equine zoonotic diseases affected humans from mild to severe such as vesicular stomatitis, brucellosis, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, equine Hendra virus, dermatophytosis, leptospirosis, anthrax, giardiasis, rabies, arboviral encephalitis, acute diarrhea, salmonellosis, clostridium difficile, and cryptosporidiosis. These serious diseases did not eliminate due to many reasons. Personal hygiene, protective clothing, recognition of zoonotic agents and identification of potential fomites can reduce zoonotic diseases or prevent the transfer of zoonotic diseases.
