Zinc, lead chromates, radioactive substances, nickel) also predispose workers to the development of lung cancer (Table 2). Farmers and their families who work in confined areas with large animals, particularly swine, develop chronic respiratory symptoms and decline in the lung function. Sheepherders live in close proximity with dogs and sheep and are likely to develop hydatid disease. Butchers and dairy workers are candidates for catching brucellosis. Sewer crews can get leptospirosis (6). D.

Introduction Zoonoses or zoonotic illnesses are infections that are transmitted between vertebrate animals and humans.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), first diagnosed in Guangdong Province, China in November 2002, is now recognized in patients on all five continents, although a relatively new addition to the growing list of zoonotic illnesses (1). The existing knowledge originating from veterinary research tells us that the new SARS-corona virus did not emerge through mutation or recombination, but it has probably been transmitted from an as yet unidentified animal species (2). As the human population increases and man proceeds to usurp and develop those areas that have been inhabited by the lower animals, the opportunities for contact between man and animals increase.
