Important zoonoses that may be encountered in North America are listed in this Appendix and reviewed in the Red Book (see disease-specific chapters in Section 3 for further information). Morbidity resulting from selected zoonotic diseases in the United States is reported annually by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (see "Summary of Notifiable Diseases" at www.cdc.gov/epo/dphsi/annsum). Information also can be obtained via the Web site of the National Center for Zoonotic, Vector-borne, and Enteric Diseases: www.cdc.gov/nczved or through the main Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web site: www.cdc.gov.
