Abstract
The main bacterial and viral zoonoses that are diagnosed in cattle, sheep, goat, pig or poultry breeding farms in France are presented according to modalities of their transmission to man. Some zoonoses are occupational diseases that principally affect breeders, veterinarians or slaughterhouse workers: this is the case of rabies, tuberculosis, brucellosis, Q fever, chlamydiosis, leptospirosis, anthrax, erysipelas, Streptococcus suis infection, pasteurellosis, cowpox, paravaccinia, orf and influenza. Other zoonoses are mainly transmissible from animal to man through contaminated food: bovine spongiform encephalopathy, salmonellosis, listeriosis, campylobacteriosis and Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection. The authors underline the epidemiological features of these zoonoses in animals and indicate the prophylactic programmes aimed at their control in the breeding farms.
