Abstract
Sheep and goat can be infected with several pathogens. While some may have a great impact on the small ruminant industry, others are more important as zoonotic agents. Human infections can occur from contact with both live and dead animals, animal products, and wastes, whereas some are well known while others have only recently been discovered. Several microorganisms may cause severe infection if transmitted to vulnerable people, such as pregnant and immune-comprised persons. Climate change, increased globalization, loss of natural habitats, improved diagnostics, and an active surveillance will increase records of zoonotic infections. The present chapter will briefly deal with a selected number of zoonotic microorganisms where small ruminants may play an important role as hosts for human infection.
