Companion animal issues and the physician.
Southern Medical Journal 1999 July
BACKGROUND: The companion animal population in the United States is both large in numbers and diverse in composition. Nearly 60% of households have one or more animals. Associated with this large and diverse group of animals are considerable risks for injuries and transmission of infections to humans.
METHODS: Through a review of the relevant literature and our collective professional experience in public health and veterinary medicine, we framed issues regarding companion animals and human health and safety.
RESULTS: We placed the identified issues in general contexts that could be applied to varying circumstances.
CONCLUSIONS: Physicians, veterinarians, public health officials, and others need to work together to ensure that animal ownership is as risk free for people as possible.
