RESEARCH: (15 points)Use the library or internet to research on the following zoonoses.
Use at least two different sources, take notes and write brief report (at least one page
long, 12 pt. font, dbl spaced) detailing information about the disease, its spread, and its
frequency of occurrence. In addition, be sure to discuss what, specifically, a person can
do to prevent contracting the disease. Be sure to cite the sources that you use.
