Zoonoses of House Pets Other Than Dogs, Cats and Birds Zoonoses of House Pets Other Than Dogs, Cats and Birds Pediatric Infectious Diseases Journal Many infectious diseases in humans can be acquired through contact with pets. Dogs and cats may be the most frequent household pets around the world, but there are also many other vertebrates that share our household environment. At least 55% of all households in the United States have a dog or a cat, and 15 to 20% have pet birds,[1] but the pet population is also composed of millions of rodents, reptiles or aquarium fish, not to mention less common species such as wild carnivores, monkeys or more recently the miniature pig.
