Epizoonosis refers to parasitoses of the skin caused by arthropods, e.g. diseases caused by lice, mites, ticks and others.

In general, zoonoses are all infections that can be transmitted naturally between animals and humans. Around 200 diseases are known. A zoonosis is therefore an infectious disease that can affect both humans and animals.
