Zoophilia and Health
Zoonoses Acquired Through Sexual Contact
Infections transmitted from animals to humans are called zoonoses. Few zoonoses can be transmitted through casual contact, but many are more likely to be transmitted through activities that expose humans to semen, vaginal fluid, urine, saliva, stool, or blood of animals. For this reason, sexual contact with animals can present a risk of transmission of zoonoses. It may be of interest to people who practice bestiality, for each of the diseases mentioned below (and others not mentioned) and for the different regions of the world. Some of the more common zoonoses are listed in the National Agricultural Safety Database (NASD) and by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the United States. Zoonoses - Animals Can Make You Sick
