Across
- 6. The disease is characterized by recurrent periods of fever and other symptoms lasting 2-7 days, disappearing for about 4-14 days, then reoccurring.
- 8. Commonly found in the feces of infected animals and in food products contaminated with the bacteria. Raw or under cooked chicken is one of the most common sources of human infection.
- 10. Primary host is the common house mouse. Pet rodents can become infected after being in contact with wild mice infesting pet stores and homes. People are infected by touching the infected mouse or the area that the mouse was in contact with.
- 12. Bacteria that lives in the guts of animals and people. People are typically infected when they eat contaminated food, it also can occur through direct contact with an infected animal.
- 13. Caused by a parasite that is commonly found in the intestines of dogs and cats. People can get it through direct contact with contaminated feces or ingesting roundworm eggs.
- 14. Bacterial disease caused by Fransicella Tularensis and is most commonly found in wild animals, such as, rodents, squirrels, rabbits, hares and beavers.
- 16. Can be found in aquatic environments. People can get infected through direct contact with contaminated water sources, the bacteria can easily enter the body through breaks in the skin.
- 19. Caused from the bacteria, Yersinin Pestis, that is carried by wild rodents and the fleas that live on them.
- 22. Caused by Chlamydophila Psittaci, people usually become infected after inhaling contaminated dust from feathers or bird feces.
- 23. Caused by Coziella Burnetii. People can get it by inhaling barnyard dust that is contaminated with dried placental material, birth fluids or urine and feces; from infected cattle, sheep or goats.
- 24. Spread by mosquitoes that pick up the virus after feeding on infected wild birds.
- 25. Occurs worldwide but is more common in temperate and tropical areas. Some wild and domestic animals, such as cattle, swine, dogs, raccoon and rodents carry the bacteria and pass it through their urine.
Down
- 1. A fungus that grows on the skin, can cause a red, ring-shaped rash that may be itchy. Spreads through direct contact with an infected animal or person.
- 2. This fungus is found in the soil and in bat or bird feces, primarily in Midwestern states. Fungus spores can become airborne and inhaling these can cause infection.
- 3. Spread through the U.S. in 2001. Most commonly occurs in wild and domestic herbivore mammals.
- 4. Causes skin infections. Can be transmitted through people and animals through direct skin-to-skin contact.
- 5. Caused by Listeria Monocytogenes. If cattle and goats are infected it can cause them to abort. Eating unpasteurized cheese or other dairy products, hot dogs, and cold cuts are the foods most likely to transmit this disease.
- 7. People are infected by the bite of a skunk, fox or raccoon. Causes around 55,000 deaths a year.
- 9. Transmitted by the bites of infected ticks. Main carrier are rodents.
- 11. People can get this disease by eating fecal contaminated raw vegetables or under cooked meat. Main carriers are cats along with sheep, goats, and pigs.
- 15. Caused by tiny parasites called Giardia. People can become infected through direct contact with an infected person, animal or contaminated food or water.
- 17. Causes stillbirth and abortion in goats, sheep, cows, deer, elk and bison.
- 18. Respiratory disease caused by inhaling dust that has been contaminated with deer or mice feces, urine or saliva.
- 20. Bacterial disease that is spread to people through bites or scratches from rats.
- 21. Bacteria infection, happens when a person eats or drinks food that is contaminated with this bacteria. Animal carriers are usually livestock and poultry, reptiles, amphibians and rodents.
