Where can I find information on transmission of disease from humans to wildlife?

Where can I find information on transmission of disease from humans to wildlife?I am in a naturalist certification program and would like to give a presentation to the class about the possible transmission of disease from humans to wildlife, especially in the Southwest. I would appreciate information or sources of information on this subject. Thanks.

There has been considerable attention given to the transmission of various from humans to both chimpanzees and gorillas. Google ebola and gorillas/chimpanzees and you will find lots of literature. However, the vast majority of the literature is on the transmission of disease from wildlife to humans.

Ms. Informed
all the info i have emphasizes zoonoses transmission from animals to humans. but most certainly, humans may transfer these back to other animals.

Infectious Disease Transmission in Healthcare Work 2006

Infectious diseases are transmitted from human to human primarily by three routes: (1) direct contact with an infected patients blood or secretions or a contaminated surface; (2) transmission via large droplets; or (3) transmission via small droplets (aerosolization or airborne). With most respiratory pathogens, including influenza, the relative contribution of each of these types of transmission has not been adequately studied. This paucity of definitive data on influenza transmission is a critical gap in the knowledge base needed to develop and implement effective prevention strategies. Without knowing the contributions of each of the possible route(s) of transmission, all routes must be considered probable and consequential, and the resources needed for prevention and control strategies cannot be rationally focused to maximize preparedness efforts. Although it has been 70 years since the influenza A virus was discovered and despite the recognition that it can cause yearly epidemics worldwide resulting in severe illness and death, little is known about the mechanisms by which influenza A is transmitted or its viability and infectivity outside the host. Debate continues about whether influenza transmission is primarily via the airborne or droplet routes and the extent of the contribution of the contact route (including contact with blood, fecal matter, or contaminated surfaces). Unfortunately, many healthcare employers and state and local health departments ignore the US ...
