“There are over 250 zoonotic organisms, with only about 40 being transmitted from dogs and cats. The rest of the zoonotic organisms are transmitted from birds, reptiles, farm animals, wildlife, and other mammals.
"The good news is that a majority of the zoonotic diseases can be prevented by following basic hygiene guidelines, as well as following routine veterinary care guidelines for your pets and that is why we want the Federal Government to take this campaign to our places of worship," Buru added.
