Zoonotic diseases

From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history

Zoonotic diseases are infectious diseases that can be transmitted between humans and animals.[1]

Veteranian Walter Tarello, who has investigated illnesses that resemble chronic fatigue syndrome in animals, has hypothesized ME/CFS may have zoonotic components as he and his wife, who work together, were both diagnosed with CFS.[2]
