TY - JOUR AU - Grant, Sara AU - Olsen, Christopher T1 - Preventing Zoonotic Diseases in Immunocompromised Persons: The Role of Physicians and Veterinarians T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 1999 VL - 5 IS - 1 SP - 159 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We surveyed physicians and veterinarians in Wisconsin about the risk for and prevention of zoonotic diseases in immunocompromised persons. We found that physicians and veterinarians hold significantly different views about the risks posed by certain infectious agents and species of animals and communicate very little about zoonotic issues; moreover, physicians believe that veterinarians should be involved in many aspects of zoonotic disease prevention, including patient education.
