Abstract: Recent outbreaks of emerging zoonotic diseases such as SARS, Monkeypox, and Avian Influenza have highlighted that the veterinary community is vulnerable to infection with these diseases. The proposed survey ask veterinarians about infection control procedures employed in their clinics and the use of personal protective equipment to prevent zoonotic disease transmission. This study is needed to determine whether national guidelines on infection control practices in veterinary settings are needed.
