    Snippet: Contact with livestock animals can lead to transmission of microorganisms by inhalation, ingestion, via conjunctiva, or during incidents such as biting or other injuries inflicted by animals [29] . Furthermore, aerosols contaminated with micro-organisms from respiratory [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] or fluid sources [35] , can play an important role in the transmission of micro-organisms between humans [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] , but also from ani.....
    Document: Contact with livestock animals can lead to transmission of microorganisms by inhalation, ingestion, via conjunctiva, or during incidents such as biting or other injuries inflicted by animals [29] . Furthermore, aerosols contaminated with micro-organisms from respiratory [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] or fluid sources [35] , can play an important role in the transmission of micro-organisms between humans [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] , but also from animals to humans. Aerosols have been suggested to play a role in micro-organism transmission over very short distances, sometimes as a parallel route to direct contact [30] . It is thus clear that for transmission of zoonotic diseases to occur, the presence of animals or some type of contact with (livestock-) animals is crucial. Initiatives to control livestock-associated zoonotic diseases are already in place, as reviewed by Zinnstag et al. [36] and others [37, 38] . However, better understanding of contact patterns driving micro-organism transmission from animals to humans is needed to provide options for prevention and thus deserves more attention. Therefore, in this study we reviewed current literature on livestock-associated zoonotic diseases, to evaluate current knowledge regarding human-livestock contact patterns. We conducted a systematic review to identify papers reporting on livestock-related zoonoses. We searched the publications regarding reports of contact patterns between livestock animals and humans that led to a transmission of infectious diseases or micro-organisms from livestock to man.
