Compendium of Measures to Prevent Disease Associated with Animals
in Public Settings, 2009

Health risks such as infectious diseases, exposure to rabies, and injuries are associated with contact with animals in public settings, including county
or state fairs, petting zoos, animal swap meets, pet stores, zoologic institutions, circuses, carnivals, educational farms, livestock-birthing exhibits, educational exhibits at schools and child-care facilities, and wildlife photo opportunities. Washing hands is the most important prevention step
to reduce the risk for disease transmission associated with animals in public settings. Other recommendations include prohibiting food in animal areas, including transition areas between animal areas and nonanimal areas, providing information about disease risk and prevention to visitors,
and proper care of animals.
