A28: Other zoonotic bacterial diseases, not elsewhere classified

Zoonotic bacterial diseases not classified elsewhere fall under a group of illnesses that are transmitted from animals to humans through different methods, like contact with contaminated water or soil, bites or scratches, or even via the air we breathe. These typically bacterial infections come from a variety of animals such as rodents, birds, or livestock. The symptoms can vary greatly based on the type of bacteria, but common symptoms may include fever, chills, headaches, muscle aches, and sometimes more serious symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain. The disease progression also varies, with some people recovering quickly and others experiencing long-term health effects depending on the type of bacteria and the individual's immune response. The systems in the body most often affected by these diseases can also be versatile, impacting the respiratory, digestive, skin or even the nervous system.
