Abstract
Cattle production is a vital component of the global food chain. Animal protein, through meat or milk, is an essential dietary requirement for the majority of people across the world. Increased cattle production will attempt to meet the need for more protein with both positive and negative impacts, including the spread of diseases from livestock to people directly or indirectly through products such as milk, meat, hide or manure. The following zoonotic diseases of cattle are included in this chapter due to their potential severity in humans or cattle population and/or their wide distribution or recent emergence: anthrax, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), bovine cysticercosis, bovine tuberculosis, brucellosis, cryptosporidium, Escherichia coli O157:H7, leptospirosis, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Q fever, Rift Valley Fever, and Salmonella.
