The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), in January 2010, published their Community Zoonoses Report for 2008, which analyses the occurrence of infectious diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. The report, which covers 15 zoonotic infections, also provides data on other zoonoses, such as brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis and rabies, and the two parasitic zoonoses trichinellosis and echinococcosis.
