Abstract

ZZoonoses are diseases in humans that are acquired from an animal source. Although there are more than 60 recognised zoonoses in Australia, brucellosis, leptospirosis and Q fever present the greatest potential for epidemics and pose the greatest occupational risk. These diseases are notifiable in New South Wales. Q fever is the most frequently-notified zoonotic infection in Australia, and about 500 cases are reported nationally every year.
