There are many of zoonotic diseases transmitted from pet animals in books and scientific articals, but I need real field experienced persons to provide this information what are the most commonly spreadable zoonotic diseases in Egypt as most of the data are scarce
Hi, I dont have experienced but this information may be help you
Intestinal infections of parasitic zoonoses are widespread and are the leading cause of diarrhea, particularly among children and residents of rural areas. Some parasitic zoonoses are confined to specific geographic areas in Egypt, such as cutaneous leishmaniasis and zoonotic babesiosis in the Sinai. Other areas have a past history of a certain parasitic zoonoses, such as visceral leishmaniasis in the El-Agamy area in Alexandria. As a result of the implementation of control programs, a marked decrease in the prevalence of other zoonoses, such as schistosomiasis and fascioliasis has been observed. Animal reservoirs of parasitic zoonoses have been identified in Egypt, especially in rodents, stray dogs and cats, as well as vectors, typically mosquitoes and ticks, which constitute potential risks for disease transmission. Prevention and control programs against sources and reservoirs of zoonoses should be planned by public health and veterinary officers based on reliable information from systematic surveillance.
I think Bilharzia caused by Schistosoma sp. more occurrence in Egypt. Recently, at 2014 I attended conference in University of Cairo, the most important zoonotic disease was Filariasis, and they established Center for treatment of Filariasis.
