Human Deaths from Animal Diseases on the Rise

I read an article named "Human Deaths from Animal Diseases on the Rise" online. According to this article, 50 million people caught diseases from animals from 2000 to 2005, and 78,000 of them died. It means more and more people's health are effected by animals...

The article also points out that some diseases such as bird flu not only can transmit from animals but also from human to human. So, scientists and doctors are trying to find some ways to deal with the problem. Vaccine is a good way to avoid it.

From my view, animals are good friends to human. Lots of people have pets in their home. We have to care about diseases from animals in order to be healthy.
