Although many of these animals make appropriate pets, they also can be a source of many zoonotic diseases, especially in young children and immunocompromised individuals. Some of these diseases can be life threatening, such as rabies, rat bite fever, and plague. Some others are quite common, because of the frequency of the pathogens harbored by these species, such as salmonellosis in reptiles and amphibians. Appropriate knowledge of the zoonotic agents carried by these \u201cnew\u201d pet species is strongly recommended prior to acquiring pocket or exotic pets. Furthermore, adopting wildlife as pets is strongly discouraged, because it is always a risky action that can lead to major health issues.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/microbiolspec.iol5-0012-2015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,5]],"date-time":"2015-11-05T18:00:14Z","timestamp":1446746414000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Diseases Transmitted by Less Common House Pets"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Bruno B.","family":"Chomel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA 95616"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Burgos-Rodriguez AG. 2011.
