Pets sometimes carry `germs that can make people sick`, so the program documents both the benefits and risks of pet ownership and how to keep pets and people healthy.\n\nThe CDC zoonotic-disease index for pets lists conditions including `Salmonella`, `Campylobacter`, `Ringworm`, `Rabies`, `Toxoplasmosis`, `Cat Scratch` disease, `Leptospirosis`, `Giardia`, and `Lyme disease`.\n\nPet-food relevance: zoonotic parasites and bacteria (e.g., Salmonella from contaminated pet food/raw diets, intestinal parasites) are a recurring pet-food safety concern. This overview sits alongside the surveillance layer — see `parasite_zoonosis_cdc_salmonella_pets` (CDC Salmonella from pets) and `parasite_zoonosis_capc_2026_forecast` (CAPC 2026 parasite forecasts).\n\nNote: CDC live site was WAF-blocked at fetch time; content landed from the Wayback Machine official archive (first-hand CDC text, not a second-hand mirror).\n\nSource: `pdf-raw/parasite-zoonosis/cdc_healthypets_wayback_20240515.html` (CDC via web.archive.org, landed 2026-08-09).\n## Claims (verified C1 substrings of source_file)\n- `Healthy Pets, Healthy People`\n- `zoonotic (zoe-oh-NOT-ic) diseases`\n- `germs that can make people sick`\n- `Salmonella`\n- `Ringworm`\n- `Cat Scratch`\n","sources":["CDC Healthy Pets Healthy People — Healthy Pets, Healthy People — Diseases (retrieved 2026-08-09)"],"source":{"authority":"CDC Healthy Pets Healthy People","title":"Healthy Pets, Healthy People — Diseases","url":"https://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/diseases/index.html","retrieved":"2026-08-09","ref":"","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"CDC — Healthy Pets, Healthy People (zoonotic diseases index)","verification_file":"pdf-raw/parasite-zoonosis/cdc_healthypets_wayback_20240515.html"},"source_document":"CDC — Healthy Pets, Healthy People (zoonotic diseases index)","source_file":"pdf-raw/parasite-zoonosis/cdc_healthypets_wayback_20240515.html","trust":{"authority_tier":"ungraded","fidelity":"verbatim","license":"public_domain","display_grade":"pending"},"tokens_estimated":220,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
