Yes, external parasites transmissible to man include fleas, sarcoptic mange, the fur mite and ringworm fungi. Internal parasites are (as mentioned above) roundworms, tapeworms and hookworms and heartworms. Man can become infected with rabies, canicola fever caused by Leptospira canicola and Weil's disease due to L. icterohaemorrhagiae (this is more common than canicola fever). Bacteria may also be implanted in bite wounds. Salmonellosis, Campylobacter infection, and tuberculosis are other bacterial diseases which the dog may communicate to man.
