From Pet to Person: Other Ways Danger Spreads to You – Toxoplasma, Ringworm, Sarcoptic Mange, Ticks & Fleas Reference Chart

This is the companion chart to Blue Tree Publishing's original "Common Parasites of Dogs and Cats" reference, covering five additional zoonotic risks not included in that poster:

Side 1 — Toxoplasma gondii, Ringworm (fungal skin infection), and Sarcoptic Mange (scabies mite), each with a life cycle or transmission diagram and a bolded human-risk callout, including a dedicated pregnancy-risk warning for Toxoplasma.

Side 2 — Ticks & Lyme Disease and Fleas/Bartonella (cat scratch disease), each with the same life cycle format, plus a central human figure showing exactly where each condition enters the body — including close-up insets of a tick bite, a scratch wound, and the resulting skin reaction.

Both sides include global prevalence statistics, a "Signs to Watch For" summary comparing pet and human symptoms, a "Transmission to Humans" guide, and a practical "Prevention" checklist covering flea/tick prevention, handwashing, gardening precautions, and food safety.

Printed on a durable, wipe-clean laminated A4 chart, sized for easy handheld reference or wall mounting in an exam room. Well suited for veterinary offices, animal shelters, pet stores, and veterinary technician and public health education classrooms.
